It was not going to pass so he postponed it. They wrote the bill in secret and hoped a quick vote before people had a chance to read it would help get it through.


Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell will delay the vote on the Republican leadership's health care bill until after the July 4 recess.

McConnell told GOP senators that he wants to make changes to the bill, get a new Congressional Budget Office score and have a vote after the holiday, two sources told CNN.

Following McConnell's decision, President Donald Trump said negotiators are continuing to work and "getting very close" on a deal and that Obamacare was "melting down as we speak."

"We are going to talk," Trump told reporters during a meeting with Republican senators, who had been bussed from Capitol Hill to the White House. "We are going to see what we are going to do. We are getting very close."

Trump added, "For the country, we have to have health care and it can't be Obamacare, which is melting down. The other side is saying all sorts of things before they even knew what the bill was. This will be great if we get it done and if we don't get it done it is just going to be something we aren't going to like. And that is OK and I understand that very well."

"It can't be Obamacare" even though it is just a modification of it.

“But we have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it – away from the fog of the controversy.”

--Nancy Pelosi commenting on Obamacare bill, 2010

I see that story listed as 25 out of 28 stories listed. Looks near the bottom of the page. Looks more like a filler story. And the healthcare story is the first one listed:
