President Donald Trump has suffered a major setback in his attempts to replace his predecessor's Obamacare with a new health bill.
The planned legislation had due to be voted on by politicians in the House of Representatives.
But it was withdrawn by top Republicans due to a shortage of support, despite lobbying by the White House.
The bill was almost certain to be defeated had a vote taken place and it was abruptly pulled by speaker Paul Ryan.
He told reporters: "We came really close today but we came up short."
Also, nearly half of Americans say the new healthcare reform measure is "not an improvement" over Obamacare, according to a Reuters/Ipsos opinion poll.
During his presidential campaign, Mr Trump made repealing and replacing Obamacare one of his big priorities.
The measure has been a top Republican priority and was the party's first major legislative effort since it took control of both the White House and Congress in January.
The legislation would repeal much of former President Barack Obama's 2010 healthcare law, including its requirement that people buy policies

A cheap shot I know but I can't resist...

We will immediately repeal and replace ObamaCare - and nobody can do that like me. We will save $'s and have much better healthcare!

Just like Romney's defeat in 2012 set the stage for Trump, this will set the stage for a better healthcare plan. Premiums are already increasing (116% increase in Arizona this year, imagine next year), insurance companies are pulling out (1/3 of all counties have just 1 insurer)- the current state is unsustainable. Insurance companies had indicated if things weren't fix by spring there will be major complications. The Democrats will have to answer for it in 2 years, or they will have to beg Trump for help. This is solely their problem now- a major boost for Trump.
