House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy confirmed they have enough votes and the House Committee on Rules will act on an amendment, introduced by Michigan Rep. Fred Upton, providing $8 billion to help cover people with pre-existing conditions. The bill is expected to pass by a narrow margin due to a number of members expressing concerns it doesn’t do enough to protect people with pre-existing conditions. Leadership dismissed allegations pre-existing conditions wouldn’t be covered under the revised legislation, noting the addition of the Upton amendment adds additional protection for vulnerable Americans. According to House Chief Deputy Whip Patrick McHenry, its addition helped sway a sizable amount of members that were on the fence. “I think it’s a very good close,” he told reporters ahead of the vote announcement.
