Top GOP centrist MacArthur confident of quick Obamacare repeal vote

A top centrist Republican says a vote on Obamacare repeal could come as early as next week, even though more Republicans came out against repeal during Congress’ Easter recess.

Rep. Tom MacArthur, R-N.J., a co-chairman of the centrist Tuesday Group, said in multiple published reports that he thinks a deal on Republicans’ Obamacare repeal plan isn’t dead and that a vote on a compromise could come soon. However, other centrists have become more entrenched against the compromise, which would let states opt out of some Obamacare insurance mandates.
