The American Health Care Act was supposed to go to the House floor for a vote yesterday, and then for a vote today. The votes are not there, and the bill is now being pulled.

All the pitching and begging and pleading could not save the crap sandwich that the AHCA promised to become.
House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., withdrew the legislation after Trump called him and asked him to halt debate without a vote, according to Ryan spokeswoman AshLee Strong. Just a day earlier, Trump had demanded a House vote and said if the measure lost, he would move on to other issues.
