INTERNATIONAL NEWS - Republican Senators threatened to vote against the latest Obamacare repeal bill unless they received a guarantee it would be debated further.
Lindsey Graham, Ron Johnson, and John McCain's votes would have been enough to scupper the bill's chances.
The Senate and House have repeatedly disagreed on a series of healthcare bills ahead of summer recess.
House Speaker Paul Ryan seemed to accede to the demands, but said it was now the Senate's job to produce a plan.
The senators wanted guarantees that the bill would be sent to a "conference committee" - a normal process when the House and Senate approve similar but slightly different bills.
But if the House simply voted to approve a Senate bill "as-is", it would be sent to President Trump to be signed into law instead.
"If moving forward requires a conference committee, that is something the House is willing to do," Paul Ryan said in a statement.
