weren't there. this doesn't mean that this has ended. you shouldn't read the last rites to this legislative effort. there still is a chance they might be able to wrangle extra votes, twist some arms. right now, the legislation is in a critical condition, if not on life support. it's very difficult to pass legislation once something has actually been postponed because you don't have the votes. every hour, every day that goes by ends up increasing any type of -- really hurting a chance for momentum to be able to pass something. >> what are the larger implications here of tonight's decision not to vote? >> you still have a divided republican party. even though they end up controlling the white house, they control capitol hill. there still is a struggle inside the gop between conservatives who think the legislation to repeal and replace obamacare doesn't go far enough. and then there are people who says it goes too far along the

moderates, including the republican representatives in your area who are against it. they think this goes way too far. you have conservatives who think it doesn't go far enough. that is one of the things that have gone on with republicans. the other, is it's so hard to reform healthcare which affects one fifth of the nation's economy. barack obama even though he was successful ended up paying a political price for it. >> all right, nbc political editor, mark murray, thank you so much for your time. >> thank you. president barack obama is celebrating the seventh anniversary of his landmark healthcare law. in a statement today he said quote, america is stronger because of the affordable care act. mr. obama also encouraged bipartisanship, he said if republicans are serious about lowering costs and expanding coverage and are prepared to work with democrats, that's something, quote, we should all
