Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has scheduled a pivotal meeting Thursday for all Republican senators to discuss the party's beleaguered effort to repeal Obamacare.

The conference, which remains deeply divided on the health bill, will meet at 11:30 am. on Thursday in the Capitol.


GOP leaders have said they hoped to unveil new text of the proposal on Thursday, with a Congressional Budget Office analysis expected next Monday, and a vote to begin debate on the legislation later in the week.

It’s not clear whether McConnell will be able to find the 50 votes necessary to take up the bill, amid resistance from conservative and moderate Republicans alike.
