I think the "against anything Obama supports" bit is probably a bit inaccurate if we were to drill down into the voting records in Congress.
But do they have very clear and blatant interests? You bet.
But it'll be a bit more complex than that I think, and I suspect you'll see voting coming down to a mix of local interests and public (including corporate) feedback.
Party allegiance will be secondary to an extent, and you already see that in the article. Orrin Hatch is a republican, and he's already stating his opposition due to what are likely local interests in pharmaceuticals. Trump is blasting it, but almost undoubtedly because that's what his support base wants to hear.
You'll have a lot of representatives and senators all saying that they have "deep reservations" until they get to see the final bill, and then some judgement call will be made between supporting their local industries vs the country's as a whole.
And ya know, really, that's kinda how it should work.
