Freedom Caucus wants Obamacare repeal vote now

The Freedom Caucus is tired of waiting for legislation to repeal Obamacare, and on Tuesday called out Republican leadership for trying to include replacement provisions in the repeal package.

"The American people cannot afford to wait any longer for us to prove that we are working to relieve their burdens," according to a statement from the caucus released Tuesday. "There is no reason for Republicans to send anything less on repeal to President Trump's desk than we did President Obama's desk."

The statement comes as leaders of the ultra-conservative group chafed at the current approach adopted by GOP leadership. Four House and Senate committees are drafting repeal legislation for Obamacare that can be approved in the Senate through the reconciliation process.
