Office of Management and Budget director Mick Mulvaney made clear Thursday evening that President Donald Trump is done negotiating on the hotly-debated health care bill and wants a vote on Friday.
And, if the president doesn't get a vote to repeal and replace Obamacare, he will move on to other priorities, Mulvaney said according to a source in the room during the tense talks with GOP members.
The latest salvo comes after House Republican leaders abruptly postponed a planned vote on the GOP health care bill Thursday as they struggled to find sufficient support to pass it. GOP lawmakers had previously been told procedural votes on the bill will still be held tonight and that a full vote on the measure could take place Friday.

“Trump is much too good of a businessman to walk away from a promise.”
I don’t think this is what that means.
Just wait until the reality of what ObamaCare really is hits the voters after Obama left office
The price of ObamaCare policies for this falls enrollment is going to shock the American people and there will be a run on tar and feathers
This is so fun to watch;)
For starters, it forces Vets into the VA system. That is not better nor is excluding Christian Healthcare ministries.
This ain’t Trump[’s to fail, but Ryan’s to eat!
Make Ryan OWN the FAIL.
The clear fact that many on this site fail to recognize.
This has nothing to do with Trump. He is just forcing their hand one way or another which I agree with. I hope the bill fails and Trump says move on. Congress is the biggest bunch of failures.
That smug little creep, Ryan, has boxed himself in. If he fails to repeal Obamacare tomorrow its his fault for dropping the ball and lying to us for weeks that he has the votes.
I’m ok with that. Kill the “Trumpcare” (per Schumer) bill. Repeal Obamacare or let it collapse on its own.
“Shit or get off the pot”
Now if I change it to "Pass this bill, or we shoot the house speaker", I think the dog gets it.
The ones who need to be primaried out are the ones pushing RINOcare that includes covering illegal aliens, not those opposing it.
There is no repeal here, just rearranging of Obamacare.
The epitaph on the Tea Party's tombstone.
Just wait, you'll see.
Thety are voting tonight!!! OMG!!Ryanh finished!! Will resign!! I want Loui GomeRt!!
I didn’t know they had a bill to “Repeal and replace.”
There is no repeal in Ryancare, it is a rearranging of Obamacare, not one federal agency is removed.
Worse, it opens up coverage to illegal aliens.
Trump has already agreed with Freedom Caucus on this, and pushed the bill to the right.
This is about showing Ryan who’se boss. Trump has already said, the smart move would be to leave O-care alone and let it fail. But he’s about fixing things, and the first thing you do to stop a flood is plug the hole.
The bill can be much, much better. But it’s up to Ryan, not Trump.
Too late. Trump backed, pushed and twisted arms to close the deal on this. Ryan and Trump are Siamese Twins on this bill.
Wow, you just stated why we the American public always wind up the losers. We vote the GOP in with "we'll repeal and replace" and then it's not enough of a win to do it. I don't blame Trump one bit for this - this is the sole ownership of congress. 7 years of moaning, speeches, and every other complaint and nothing to show for it but a typical Washington, screw the public, band-aid.
And you're for it?
