The Failure of the American Health Care Act

In the BBC article concerning the failure of the Republican party to pass the American Health Care Act, Paul Ryan's decision to pull the bill is framed in a light of complete disaster. This article lists five reasons why its inability to pass this bill was a disaster for the Republican Party. The reasons listed are: Trump's incompetency as a deal-maker, Paul Ryan's lack of influence over the House, the negative impact this loss has on Trump's entire presidential agenda, the GOP's new plan to watch Obamacare implode, and an angry Republican base of support. The Washington Post portrays Ryan's decision in a slightly different frame. While the article still starts with the failure of Ryan and Trump to pass the bill, calling it a "dramatic failure," it goes on to give the opinions of several other Republican party members. This article frames the pulling of the bill as a failure, but also outlines the Republican plan moving forward.
