The two weeks before the arrival of the US Congress
US Republicans' expectations of a quick restart to replace Obama's health care legislation were shattered on Wednesday, when Congress failed to reach an agreement to end a party struggle and prepare for a two-week recess.
"We are ready to go home tomorrow, and we have not reached an agreement," the House gentleman Republican member Chris Collins told reporters.
Collins, an ally of the White House, said a few days of negotiations around the Conservatives to allow states to abolish Obama's health insurance policy.
He said that the position of tough conservative party - House Freedom Caucus (House Freedom Caucus) "free to change the target", I am afraid that can not get moderate support of Republicans.
Both sides warned that if the parliamentarians did not pay for the break this week, then the Republicans to promote health care reform may lose power. The medical reform is one of the important campaign promises of President Trump. As a result of differences, medical reform legislation on March 24 suffered setbacks, the day House Speaker Ryan (Paul Ryan) announced the abolition of the vote.
But Ryan said in a forum that the discussion was "very rewarding" and stressed that Republican leaders did not set an agreement deadline.
