A new proposal to help stabilize rural hospital access is floating around Capitol Hill as Senate Republicans consider their reconciliation bill.

Republicans are struggling to devise a solution to the health care problem their package has created. Already, estimates say 10.9 million more people would be without health coverage under the House-passed version of the bill. GOP senators have proposed steeper reductions, which some say go too far.

Some lawmakers are optimistic the finish line will come this weekend. Other conservative holdouts aren't so sure.
