The White House and other Republicans who worked on the Obamacare replacement bill faced a difficult time convincing the members of the Freedom Caucus about the contents and programs in the replacement bill forcing the House Speaker, Paul Ryan and President Trump to withdraw the bill. President Trump also made personal efforts to get them on board with the plan several times as well, but all to no success.
