Apparently some were hoping that Trump might be able to point to the passage of the American Health Care Act as a victory in time for his 100 day mark on Saturday.
That ain’t gonna happen:
House Republican leaders on Thursday delayed a vote on their Obamacare repeal bill until next week at the earliest, denying President Donald Trump a major legislative victory during his first 100 days in office.
Speaker Paul Ryan and his top lieutenants decided during a late-night huddle in the Capitol that they still do not have the votes to pass the stalled health-care legislation. At least 15 House Republicans remain solidly opposed to the bill, with another 20 leaning no or still undecided, according to GOP lawmakers and aides.

Wow. It’s been more than seven years, but hey, one more week should let them hammer out that health care bill!
And don’t just blame the GOP. Trump said over and over that HE, personally, had a health care plan that was going to be amazing and incredible and be the best thing ever.
Plenty of blame to go around here.
