Facing certain death in the House of Representatives, the American Health Care Act — the budget resolution intended to repeal much of the 2010 Affordable Care Act — has been pulled from consideration only minutes before legislators were set to vote.
“We just pulled it,” President Trump confirmed to the Washington Post in a phone interview.
Given that the all Democratic House members were slated to vote against the bill, the GOP could only stand to lose support from 22 of their own party. Almost every forecast of the vote had at least 30 Republicans already committed to voting no, with about have that many leaning toward a no vote.
Developing story. More to come…
