Insurance industry officials and state regulators have met repeatedly in recent months with senior Trump administration officials in an effort to explain that administration's actions are jeopardizing health coverage for millions of Americans.

But in many cases, the meetings left insurers and regulators more confused about the administration's plans, according to attendees.

At one recent meeting, Seema Verma, whom Trump picked to oversee the federal Medicare and Medicaid programs, stunned insurance industry officials by suggesting a bargain: The administration would fund the CSRs if insurers supported the House Republican bill to repeal the Affordable Care Act.

"It made no sense," said one official at the meeting.

House Democrats usually kick the year's fundraising off pretty slowly, but the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee raised $31 million in the first three months of 2017, NBC News reported.
The committee, the campaign arm of House Democrats, was buoyed by a wave of online contributions, including 121,000 new donors, according to the group.
