ByRicardoAlonso- Zaldivar and Alan Fram The Associated Press WASHINGTON Time for talk running out, President Donald Trump on Tuesday warned wavering House Republicans that their jobs were on the line in next year's elections if they failed tobackaGOPbillthatwould upend Barack Obama's Af- fordable Care Act. The countdown quick- ened toward an expected vote Thursday on legislation undoing much of the law that has provided coverage to some 20 million Ameri- cans.Trumphuddledbehind closed doors with rank-and- file Republicans just hours after GOP leaders unveiled changes intended to pick up votes by doling out conces- sions to centrists and hard- liners alike. "If we fail to get it done, fail to (meet) the promises made by all of us, including the president, then it could have a very detrimental ef- fect to Republicans in '18 who are running for re-elec- tion," said Rep. Mike Con- away, R-Texas. "If it fails, then there will be a lot of people looking for work in 2018." Trump's message to Re- publicans: "If you don't pass the bill there could be polit- ical costs," said Rep. Walter Jones, R-N.C. Even with the revisions, the outlook for House pas- sage remains dicey. After a dayofcajolingvotes,asenior administration official said the White House is trying to persuade about 20 to 25 House Republicans who are eitheropposedorundecided. House leaders and Trump can only afford to lose 21. The official spoke on condi- tion of anonymity to discuss internal deliberations. At a Republican Congres- sionalCommitteefundraiser Tuesday night, Trump said the American people had delivered Republicans the House, Senate and White House with an expectation they would deliver. "These are the conserva- tive solutions we campaign on and these are the conser- vative solutions the Amer- ican people asked us as, a group, to deliver," he said, calling Thursday's vote "cru- cial" for the party and the American people. "I think we're going to have some great surprises," headded."Ihopethatit'sgo- ing to all work out." The GOP bill would scale back the role of gov- ernment in the private health insurance mar- ket, and limit future fed- eral financing for Medic- aid. It would repeal tax in- creases on the wealthy that Democrats used to pay for Obama's coverage expan- sion. Fines enforcing the Obama-era requirement that virtually all Ameri- cans have coverage would be eliminated. The nonpartisan Con- gressional Budget Office es- timatesthat24millionfewer people will have health in- surance in 2026 under the GOP bill. TrumpwarnedHouseRe- publicans they'd seal their political doom if they waver, with the party potentially losing control of the House. Still, several conservatives were steadfast in their op- position even after the ses- sion with Trump. "The president wouldn't have been here this morn- ing if they have the votes," said Rep. Rod Blum, R-Iowa, a member of the Freedom Caucus who complained that the GOP bill leaves too much government regula- tion in place. Rep. Chris Collins, R-N.Y., said Trump told Republi- cans he would campaign for them if they backed the bill. Trump didn't indicate what he would do to those who vote against the bill, but dur- ing the caucus, he singled out Rep. Mark Meadows, R- N.C., an outspoken critic of the bill. Collins said Trump asked Meadows to stand up, called him a great guy and said he is counting on Meadows to get this over the line. "The president is very adroit at putting somebody on the spot and he did that today with Mark Meadows," Collins said. Asked if there was a threat to Meadows in that, Collins responded: "There was no threat what- soever." Meadows was still a "no" vote at the end of the day. Speaker Paul Ryan, R- Wis., told reporters that if Republicans pass the legisla- tion, "people will reward us. Ifwedon'tkeepourpromise, it will be very hard to man- age this." If the bill advances, pros- pects are uncertain in the Senate, where Republicans holdaslimmajority.SixGOP senators have expressed deep misgivings including Tom Cotton of Arkansas, who said Tuesday he cannot support the House bill. In an Associated Press interview, Senate Major- ity Leader Mitch McCon- nell, R-Ky., signaled he'd use Trump's clout to pressure unhappy Republicans in his chamber. "I would hate to be a Re- publican whose vote pre- vented us from keeping the commitment we've made to the American people for al- most 10 years now," McCon- nell said. TheHouseGOPbillwould end Obama-era subsidies based on peoples' incomes and the cost of insurance. A Medicaid expansion to 11 million more low-income people would disappear. Instead, the bill would provide tax credits based chiefly on age to help peo- ple pay premiums. But in- surers could charge older consumers five times the premiums they charge younger people instead of Obama's 3-1 limit. The revisions by House GOP leaders to round up votes come at a cost — lit- erally. Congressional budget experts had projected that the original bill would cut federal deficits by $337 bil- lion over a decade. But that amount is dwindling as top Republicans dole out provi- sions helping older and dis- abled people. CONGRESS Trump to GOP: Pass health care bill or seal your fate J.SCOTTAPPLEWHITE—THEASSOCIATEDPRESS President Donald Trump and Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price arrive on Capitol Hill in Washington to rally support for the Republican health care overhaul. By Erica Werner The Associated Press WASHINGTON Senate Ma- jority Leader Mitch McCon- nell on Tuesday shot down prospects for major parts of President Donald Trump's budget, rejecting proposed cuts toforeignaidandmed- ical research. "Every president sends up a budget, and with all due respect to the current president, I can't recall any time in which we have been sort of dictated to by either a Republican or a Demo- cratic president," McCon- nell said in an interview with The Associated Press. "We'll put our own imprint on it, particularly with re- gard to overseas." Trump's budget, which wouldboostmilitaryspend- ing while slashing funds for the environment, the Na- tional Institutes of Health, public broadcasting and de- velopment projects like the AppalachianRegionalCom- mission,waswidelypanned by fellow Republicans last week. McConnell once headed the Senate panel respon- sible for foreign aid and stressed the importance of U.S. spending overseas. He also was a major force be- hind last year's Cures Act, a law that boosts spending onmedicalresearch,andhe opposes any proposed cuts. "America being a force is a lot more than building up the Defense Department," McConnellsaid."Diplomacy is important, extremely im- portant, and I don't think thesereductionsattheState Departmentareappropriate because many times diplo- macy is a lot more effective — and certainly cheaper — than military engagement." On another spending is- sue, McConnell saidthe pol- itics of the moment mean Republicans controlling Washington won't touch benefit programs like Medi- care and Social Security, known as entitlements. INTERVIEW Mc Co nn el l re je ct s Tr um p' s fo re ig n ai d cu ts By Alan Suderman The Associated Press RICHMOND, VA. Facebook users beware: that head- line on the politically re- lated news article you're reading — including this one — may not be real. An altered Facebook headline on a newspaper story involving a statue of Robert E. Lee has blown up into a major sore point in the Virginia GOP pri- mary for governor. It's not the first time politicians or their allies have changed headlines to suit their own purposes in linking to real news articles on that plat- form. They highlight Face- book's increasingly impor- tant presence in political campaigns, thanks to its vast reach and ability to target specific subgroups of voters. Virginia's governor's race is being watched na- tionally as a possible early referendum on President Donald Trump. The up- roar over the altered head- line taps into strongly felt opposition over Charlot- tesville's plan to remove a longstanding statue of the Confederate general there. Other flaps over altered headlines have erupted in at least two other states recently involving politi- cians or political groups close to them. The social media site has special tools available to page adminis- trators allowing them to change headlines in ways that make it look like they were written by legitimate news organizations. Critics complain altered headlines are a new kind of "fake news" to fool ca- sual readers. Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan was re- cently called out for a staff- altered newspaper head- line including the words "road kill" about legisla- tion he criticized. In North Carolina, a GOP state sena- tor drew fire for an altered headline stating Demo- cratic Gov. Roy "Cooper flip flops on refugees." Now a group aligned with Virginia gubernato- rial hopeful Corey Stew- art, a firebrand conser- vative Trump backer, has weaponized a fake head- line to attack rival Ed Gil- lespie, the GOP establish- ment's pick for governor. At issue: Gillespie's level of support for Virginia's Con- federate monuments. Stewart pledged no Con- federate monuments would be removed if elected, staunchly supportive of Southern history. After Stewart protested before the Lee statue in February, the Washington Post wrote a story called "Protestors mob provocative Va. gov- ernor candidate as he de- fends Confederate statue." A conservative nonprofit with ties to Stewart cam- paign aides — the Conser- vative Response Team — subsequently posted and promoted a Facebook post linking to the article but with a fake headline: "Gil- lespie: I'm OK with Char- lottesville Taking Down the General Lee Monument." The post makes it look as if that was the Washington Post's headline. In fact, Gillespie has said he doesn't support moving the statue and thinks lo- cal officials who approved moving it should be voted out of office. Gillespie also said it's an issue to be han- dled locally. Rick Shaftan is a Repub- lican operative who runs the Conservative Response Team's Facebook page and altered the headline. He said Gillespie's trying to have it both ways and the changed headline reflects that. "It's all true, it's exactly what Ed thinks," Shaftan said.
