With GOP leadership still coming up short on a crucial deal to repeal Obamacare, more money is being considered to beef up high-risk pools used by people with pre-existing conditions, one lawmaker says.

Rep. Tom MacArthur, R-N.J., said talks have been held to add more money for high-risk pools, but he didn’t specify how much. The potential change comes as some Republicans have recoiled from the bill because of concerns that it would erase protections for people with pre-existing conditions.
