Major U.S. stock-indexes slightly higher on Friday as investors awaited the outcome of a vote on a healthcare bill that is seen as a test of President Donald Trump's ability to pass his legislative agenda through Congress. Republican lawmakers struggled to overcome differences over the bill after Trump walked away from negotiations, telling them to pass the bill on Friday or keep Obamacare in place. The back-and-forth over the bill has led to some of the choppiest trading Wall Street has seen since Trump's election in November.
