WASHINGTON Conservatives are questioning where the White House stands on the GOP health care bill , with House Freedom Caucus members saying late Tuesday that the Trump administration isnt wedded to the the legislation which they say cant pass anyway.

Exiting a meeting with former Freedom Caucus member Mick Mulvaney, the Office of Management and Budget director, conservatives suggested the White House isnt completely sold on the Republican House bill advancing through committees on Wednesday.

If you look at all the comments from the White House, you will find there is a mixed message, Rep. Mo Brooks (R-Ala.) said Tuesday night.

Brooks made it clear theres no mixed message coming from him. Hes strongly opposed to the so-called American Health Care Act the largest welfare program sponsored in the history of the Republican Party , in Brooks words. Yet he poured on the praise for President Donald Trumps OMB director and the message he delivered Tuesday night.

Mr. Mulvaney was persuasive, Brooks said.

He informed us of the White Houses position, he added, getting cagey about what was actually said.

Other members were less enigmatic about the meeting. They said Mulvaneys message was just that the White House was open to seeing what Republicans could produce, that the administration wouldnt try to shut down the process, and that Trump didnt care whose repeal and replace measure ultimately passes just that one does.

Rep. Mark Meadows (R-N.C), the Freedom Caucus chairman, said Mulvaney let them know that theyre still open to negotiations.

We heard that directly from him, Meadows added. This is not something that is in stone.
