Govs Divided On Health Care After Trump Meeting

WASHINGTON (AP) — Governors from around the U.S. say they're grateful that the White House is listening to their concerns about a health-care overhaul, but they still disagree on the best approaches for their states and the nation.

Governors met Monday with President Donald Trump and will meet later with Republican congressional leaders.

Trump and GOP leaders have pledged to repeal and replace the 2010 health-care law. Governors don't want to see costs passed on to states but differ on most other details.

At a Capitol news conference, Republican Gov. Gary Herbert of Utah said he supports a GOP plan to cap future federal funding in exchange for giving states more flexibility. But Republican Gov. Brian Sandoval of Nevada says he's concerned his state could be "punished" under that plan.
