  Trump card: White House plays its hand in health care battle   BBC - March 23, 2017

If the president doesn't get a vote to repeal and replace Obamacare, he will move on to other priorities, Mulvaney said, according to a source in the room during tense talks with GOP members. The ultimatum came after Speaker Paul Ryan postponed the initial vote for the measure. The uncertainty over the bill's prospects leaves the president, who prides himself on his ability to "close the deal", facing a rare instance of self-doubt.
