Conservatives expect changes in Medicaid in healthcare bill

The Republican Study Committee (RSC), the biggest group of conservatives in Congress, is "very close to signing off" on the Republican healthcare bill that would repeal Obamacare, Representative Mark Walker told reporters after the RSC met with Vice President Mike Pence about the legislation.

Walker said conservatives were told "to be hopeful" that changes adding a work requirement for some Medicaid enrollees, and accelerating the end of an expansion of the Medicaid program, would be incorporated into the bill.
