Vulnerable Republicans bury Obamacare repeal talk

Shortly after the House narrowly passed a bill to repeal and replace Obamacare in the spring of 2017, a majority of the House Republican Conference headed to the White House for a major celebration with President Trump.

But now with their majority in jeopardy, several vulnerable House Republicans are softening their rhetoric surrounding Obamacare and avoiding reference to the vote that led to that celebration. Polling indicates that healthcare is a top issue for voters and that the effort to repeal Obamacare was unpopular.
