House Republicans Abandon Latest Effort on Healthcare

HeadlineApr 28, 2017

The White House had been pushing for a vote as early as today, as President Trump sought to win his first major legislative victory ahead of Saturday, which marks his 100th day in office. Trump’s initial push for a healthcare bill failed after members of the far-right Freedom Caucus insisted the legislation didn’t go far enough toward rolling back President Obama’s signature healthcare bill.
