President Donald Trump delivered a pep talk to House Republicans as they were poised to pass a tax overhaul bill Thursday afternoon and argued them to next target government welfare programs.

House Republicans passed their version of legislation to overhaul the U.S. tax code by slashing the corporate tax rate, lowering tax burdens for most individuals and adding an estimated $1.4 trillion to the federal deficit over the next decade.

Hours after House Republicans jubilantly passed their tax bill, their colleagues on the Senate Finance Committee approved a far different version – one that postpones difficult questions as lawmakers rush to refashion much of the U.S. economy on a tight deadline.

Asked directly whether she can vote for the measure as written, Collins said, “I haven’t reached that conclusion yet.”

UnitedHealth will buy DaVita Inc.’s physician network business for $4.9 billion, adding hundreds of medical clinics to the health insurer’s business of providing direct medical care.

Some House members say they don’t feel compelled to vote for Senate deal that swayed Susan Collins.

The U.S. drug industry’s main lobbying group said it filed a lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of a California law meant to make drug prices more transparent.

The measure will repeal the ACA's individual mandate, which requires people to purchase insurance.

Mitch McConnell says the compromise tax bill from House and Senate negotiators will end the health law’s requirement that all individuals buy insurance or pay a fine.
