Rep. Mark Meadows called a nascent bipartisan deal to fund Obamacare payments a “good start” but shied away from full support.

The North Carolina Republican told the Washington Examiner that the contours of a deal announced Tuesday has promise, but more changes will be needed to lure support from conservatives. Meadows’ statement comes after Rep. Mark Walker, R-N.C., leader of the 170-member Republican Study Committee, called the deal a “bailout.”
