Republican (fascist/socialist) speaker of the house of representatives, Paul D. Ryan announces that he is pulling the American Health Care Act from the legislative calendar, as it does not have the votes to pass.  The act would not have repealed “Obamacare” (a.k.a. “Romneycare”) but replaced it with Trump/Ryancare (a.k.a ““Obamacare” 2.0”).

       NOTE: Republican President Trump campaigned on the promise of repealing “Obamacare”.  But when the Republican Party had control of the presidency and both houses of CONgress, they failed to act.  So much for “conservative” Republicans!
