The American Health Care Act (AHCA) was pulled from a House vote by Speaker Ryan this afternoon. The Speaker evidently believed the G.O.P. did not have the necessary amount of votes to pass it in the House.
The AHCA would have resulted in 24 million people losing their healthcare who are currently enrolled in the Affordable Care Act (ACA) over the next decade, and significant budget cuts to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the National Institutes of Mental Health (NIMH).
