Some GOP lawmakers have expressed a desire to repeal and replace the ACA in 2018, but Senate Majority Whip John Coryn, R-Texas, said the party leadership did not discuss the issue over the weekend.

“There’s some work we need to do on the healthcare front, but I would hope we’re in a position to do things on a bipartisan basis,” Mr. Coryn said, according to The Hill.

Though Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., expressed his desire to reform Medicare and Medicaid in December, attendees from the Camp David meeting said GOP leadership will probably narrow their entitlement reform focus to initiatives such as job training.
