The American people are close to a victory on healthcare as Republicans are saying they will begin negotiations with Democrats on a bipartisan healthcare bill if they can’t get enough Republican votes to pass the Senate healthcare bill by Friday.
NBC is reporting:
Graham tells @kasie that if GOP doesn't reach an agreement on health care by Friday it'll be the end of the 1 party health care talks.

Republicans have given themselves two days to either come together and make a deal, or they will negotiate a bipartisan deal with Democrats, which means that Obamacare will stay, the Medicaid cuts will go, and the insurance markets will be stabilized.
To put it another way, there will be no Trumpcare. Donald Trump and the Republican Party will have completely failed in their effort to repeal Obamacare and take health care away from more than 20 million Americans.
Victory is so close, which is why people have to fight ten times harder over the next 72 hours to defeat this bill. Nothing is won yet, but if people keep fighting, Obamacare will be saved and Trump will be handed a crushing defeat.
