The conservative House Freedom Caucus on Wednesday announced support for a revised ObamaCare overhaul plan -- a significant breakthrough but no sure win for Republicans trying for roughly seven years to repeal the health care law. An attempt last month by House leadership to repeal and replace the law failed in large part because most of the Freedom Caucus’ roughly 35 members wouldn’t support the measure. “The House Freedom Caucus has taken an official position in support of the current proposal.”However, the group's backing this time doesn’t guarantee passage, considering some moderate Republicans still appear opposed to any of the changes. Freedom Caucus members largely opposed the first plan because it didn’t fully repeal President Barack Obama’s signature 2010 health care law, which is struggling under rising premium costs with fewer coverage options for customers. He was joined in the effort by North Carolina GOP Rep. Mark Meadows, the Freedom Caucus leader, according to the caucus and House Republican leaders.
