There were a lot of complaints from the Freedom Caucus about men having to pay for any insurance policy that includes maternity benefits or mammograms. They met with Trump earlier today to try to hammer out a deal:

Do you notice anything odd about that group?
I asked Sen. Roberts if he supports scrapping Essential Health Benefits. “I wouldn’t want to lose my mammograms,” he snarked. #AHCA— Alice Ollstein (@AliceOllstein) March 23, 2017
Roberts apologized later. But he can’t un-say it.
Trump agreed to scrap all the Essential Health Benefits, including the provision on pre-existing conditions, the maternity benefits, the kids under 26 — all of it. They still refused to take yes for an answer. That’s what they do.
