Overnight, Senate Republican leaders unveiled their version of the bill.
While the bulk of the measure remains the same as the House passed version, key differences remain over how much the federal government will pay to fund Medicaid programs.
The Senate also creates a $25 billion fund for rural hospitals to help offset reduced Medicaid compensation.
Hundreds of thousands of mourners line the streets of Tehran for the funeral of top military commanders and nuclear scientists killed in the 12-day war with Israel.
Their caskets were paraded through the city as mourners cursed Israel.
In the United States.
Notably missing was Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who has not been seen public for weeks.
In Gaza, Palestinian officials said overnight Israeli airstrikes killed at least 62 people.
The strikes hit sites where displaced people were sheltering a tent camp in southern Khan Younis and a stadium in Gaza City.
And in the west, residents searched for bodies and belongings in a blast crater.
The attacks came after President Trump said on Friday that a ceasefire agreement could be reached within the next week.
In Minneapolis, there was a funeral former Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, who were killed earlier this month, what authorities have called a politically motivated attack.
Hundreds of mourners attended the private service in The Basilica of St. Mary, among them former President Joe Biden and former Vice President Kamala Harris.
The Hortmans are survived by their two grown children, a son and a daughter.
The man accused of killing the Hortmans is also charged with wounding State Senator John Hoffman and his wife.
