As the Wizards played the Nets Friday night, an ad praised Rep. Barbara Comstock (R-Va.) for keeping her promise and replacing the Affordable Care Act, Deadspin reported. #trumpcare https://t.co/eTs1Hq0Ga7 — Carolyn Clement (@singingcarolyn) March 25, 2017Earlier Friday, after days of unrest among Republicans over the party’s bill to replace the Affordable Care Act, Trump had called The Washington Post to break the news that the bill was dead. Trump said the promised bill had essentially failed, after House Republicans lacked the support within their party — and among Democrats — to pass it. Congressional leaders made clear that the bill — known as the American Health Care Act — was dead. The ads made the case that the GOP bill was a true conservative alternative to the ACA, not a watered-down version of it.
