Here are four things to know:

1. Mr. Enzi did not provide specifics but said he wants legislators to collaborate on the bill. He is working with different party leaders and others to draft a viable reform bill.

2. The Republican party has disputed many provisions on a reform bill, including Medicaid spending and giving coverage to Americans with pre-existing conditions.

3. Mr. Enzi did not give Politico a concrete timeline for when the bill would be ready.

4. The House passed the American Health Care Act earlier in May. Following the passage, the Congressional Budget Office released a report finding the AHCA would result in 23 million Americans losing coverage over the next 10 years.
