Happened early this afternoon. I was pretty rough on the House Freedom Caucus for torpedoing the first iteration of the American Health Care Act, but if this latest version goes down in the House, it doesn't appear it will be their fault. The HFC has officially signed off.
The moderate counterpart to the HFC is called the Tuesday Group. (Why, I have no idea, and who cares?) Their concern is going to be that the new AHCA allows states to wave Essential Health Benefits, although I've never really understood why Republicans of any stripe want EHBs mandated by Washington. If you want more stuff covered, then shop for a policy that covers more stuff. Don't force everyone to pay for that level of coverage, since some of us think the premiums for such policies are an extremely unwise investment.
