福克斯新闻 共和党人对新的医改法案保持乐观

Republican Whip Steve Scalise says progress is being made to secure the 216 GOP votes needed in the House to advance a Republican health care bill without any Democratic assistance:

共和党研究委员会主席的斯卡莱斯(Steve Scalise)表示，获得众议院216名大佬党投票，以保证共和党医改法案不需任何民主党人同意的努力取得了进展。

“我们给每一位有异议的共和党人做工作，希望能够得到那个传奇般的数字。”

One new idea is to add additional federal funds for high-risk pools to offset¹ some insurance costs for people with pre-existing conditions.

其中一个理念就是向高风险池增加联邦资金，补偿有病史的病人。

但是目前为止还没有安排投票日期，尽管特朗普总统的预算办公室主任表示，本周末之前具体措施将尘埃落定。
