BREAKING – TrumpCare Is Dead

Bill Will Not Get Another Vote
-
Massive Defeat for Trump
President Donald Trump and Speaker Paul Ryan have pulled the TrumpCare bill after finding it impossible to gain enough votes to pass the legislation that would repeal and “replace” ObamaCare.
Washington Post reporter Robert Costa told MSNBC that President Trump called him personally and said the bill will not be voted on again. Trump told Costa that perhaps the Republicans will try to do healthcare at some point maybe later in the year.
“The bill is not going to come up in the near future” Costa said.

This is a massive defeat for the Trump White House and for Speaker Ryan. It’s a major win for the American people and proof that grassroots efforts work.
Republicans have voted to repeal ObamaCare well over 50 times. This is their first attempt to repeal it with a Republican president, and they couldn’t even get enough support to hold a vote.
Congratulations!
