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.

Against Trump on this..hope the Freedom Caucus hold the line.
RYANCARE IS A DISASTER
Get that Ryan RINO ass out here .Where are you RYAN get your lying ass uot here!! You “HAD THE VOTES” You failed. Resign!!
Trump has done what ge,said,he would do.If the legislators renege then primary the Azzhats out and elect lawmakers FOR the people
This is little different from 7 years ago when Pelosi said we needed to pass the bill to find out what is in it.
Pathetic.
Fine by me.
Let if die on the vine.
Next year oughtta be a hoot when u ions have to start paying taxes on their “Health insurance” like the rest of America.
Trump is calling your bluff!
Losers.
Repeal first.
Then haggle over replace.
I’d rather there be no replacement at all, but demanding a replacement with the repeal is almost a guarantee that nothing good will happen and the abomination will remain just as most every other progressive abomination is still with us to this day.
Trump hasn’t signed anything.
The GOP has had 7 years to develop a bill and work things out.
This is RINO Ryan’s Bill.
NBC = Nothing But Crap
I believe this to be Fake News.
Trump is much too good of a businessman to walk away from a promise.
It’s a disaster to no one because it doesn’t exist. Obamacare does and people hate it. Trump lives in realville not gee-whiz-wish-we-d-have-used-the-last-6-years-to-draft-a-replacement-plan-ville.
House Republicans postured with sham repeal bills when they know they had not chance of passage, they jerked us around and now all of a sudden they think it’s important?
Tomorrow is R-Day - it’s Ryancare or Re-election, some of them will not get both.
We’ll see.
Let ObamaCare crash and burn. Then let a real plan be put in place. The movement is about the people taking the government back not about Trump. These Congressman are looking for any excuse to go along to get along why give them one. The master negotiator is on the wrong side of the swap on this one.
Trump putting himself on the line for this piece of trash bill is a total joke.
Just to throw a little diesel fuel to the comments, RINO Ryan has 8 workdays scheduled for the House in April.
If this bill goes to a vote and fails, Ryan’s days are numbered.
Ryan and the GOP have had 7 years to work this out in a thoughtful way.
Pres. Trump wanted them to leave Obamacare to die on its own, so he was right again.
Disaster? No - it’s still better than Obamacare and a decent start. But if this doesn’t pass, it probably prevents tax reform and regulatory reform as well. Best chance is to pass this, move on to tax and regulatory reform and then revisit this bill after Republicans pick up more Senate seats in 2018.
“If the president doesn’t get a vote to repeal and replace Obamacare,”
I don’t think there’s a bill that does that up for a vote.
Seems like a failure for a Ryan one way or the other.
Woo-hoo Trump.
:D
