House Speaker Paul D. Ryan (R-Wis.) headed to the White House midday to brief President Trump on an overhaul of the nation’s health-care system, amid mounting evidence that enough House Republicans would spurn their pitches and send the bill to defeat.
Ryan was prepared to tell Trump there are not enough votes to pass the legislation, two GOP aides
familiar with his plans said. It was unclear whether leaders would proceed with a planned afternoon vote. As Ryan met with Trump at the White House at 1:30 p.m., Press Secretary Sean Spicer said during his daily briefing that a vote would proceed at 3:30 p.m., Eastern.
A House GOP aide confirmed the expected timing of a vote.

May be, but other than wiping egg off their faces, it's not like they can't come back to it sometime well before midterms. The media will be on to the next distraction so fast it'll make your head spin. And they'll move on to other issues for now. You'll see another stab at ACA within 18 months at the latest.

It was obvious to all of us that the people who "hated Obamacare" were going to meet resistance when people started figuring out it wasn't all that bad after all. It has it's flaws, but it also has some very good aspects and a lot of people, who wouldn't have had HC normally, were able to afford it. There are stories on top of stories of people who had life threatening illnesses, and who are alive right now because of it.
