26 April 2017 - White House officials and several Republican lawmakers claimed Tuesday they were nearing a deal on health care legislation with the House Freedom Caucus, with at least three leading figures in the hard-line group ready to support an overhaul after the dramatic collapse of talks last month.

Reps. Mark Meadows (R-N.C.), Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), and Raúl R. Labrador (R-Idaho) — all leaders of the Freedom Caucus and central figures in the latest discussions — signalled Tuesday they are ready to support a new plan, according to two White House officials who were not authorised to speak publicly. 

A lawmaker close to the Freedom Caucus later confirmed that those members were close to or ready to support the tweaked bill.
