Healthcare scramble writes new chapter in Trump's 'Art of the Deal'

By Yasmeen Abutaleb, David Morgan and Emily Stephenson
WASHINGTON, Mar 24 (Reuters) In the middle of a confused three-day scramble by US Republicans to save their plan to dismantle Obamacare, President Donald Trump telephoned a former small-town sandwich shop owner from the North Carolina mountains on Wednesday afternoon.
Representative Mark Meadows took the call during a meeting of the Freedom Caucus, a conservative faction of the House of Representatives he chairs. His talk with Trump thrust Meadows into the eye of a legislative storm that led to a pivotal vote on the bill being postponed. Then, late on Thursday after Trump demanded action by the House, a final vote was set for Friday.
