GOP rank-and-file quietly builds an Obamacare alternative

The bill is the work of the House Republican Study Committee, led by Rep. Steve Scalise. So far it has 116 co-sponsors, which is an important number because it is more than half the Republican caucus in the GOP-controlled House."We're at a majority of the majority who support the bill," says one well-connected Hill aide. "We've had a number of members of the Republican Study Committee who have expressed to House leadership a desire to vote on an Obamacare alternative."
