they didn't follow the same script. a subdued president trump blamed the democrats for the collapse of the gop healthcare plan and said it's time to move on. friday night, the big story is a stunning defeat for trump and paul ryan. the gop healthcare plan is dead. a flurry of activity was building to the vote this afternoon with a desperate plea to get the freedom cause you can to votcaucus tovote for the bil. he didn't have the votes so they pulled the bill, canceled the vote. >> further consideration on hr28 is postponed. >> i will not sugar coat this.

this is a disappointing day for us. doing big things is hard. all of us, myself included, we'll need tyk time to reflect n how we got to this moment and how to do it better. >> trump knows this will be seen as a humiliating failure for the deal maker that said only he could change things. he looked for someone to blame and then moved ahead. >> this would have worked out better had we had some democrat support. we had no democrat support, so now we'll go for tax reform. >> hilary clinton posted a long tweet today during which she said the collapse of the plan was a victory for anyone that believes affordable healthcare is a human right. here's where the act stands, 31

states expanded medicaid. the program covers one in every five people in the united states all ages, roughly 20,000,000 people get coverage in the insurance marketplace. premiums and deductibles shot up for coverage. many people have one insurer as an option. analysts disagree over what 2018 will bring if no changes are made, essential health benefits will be mandatory on all plans including maternity care, mental health, lab work and preventive care among oer if any change. the penalty stands for those that don't carry health year 6.. we welcome professor miller.

this will be played as a devastating view for trump. how damaging is it to get to his to do list to get it accomplished? >> that's hard to assess right now. this would be the big lead in, repealing obama care. as you said earlier, the closing ability of donald trump would make a deal that the republicans had seven years to work something out. there are more questions than anything else. some of the questions are, does this affect the relationship between trump and ryan? can ryan have enough discipline to get the party to agree on anything. healthcare is complicated. donald trump talked about next time whether they ram something through or put together a package that can sell across a

broad constituency. >> let me ask you about the democrats. no one seems to be talking about them at this moment in time. it seems to me this is a problem and opportunity for them. they'll continue to own obama care. if it implodes the way republicans say it will, they have a problem. don't they have a chance to join forces with republican moderates to improve obama care? >> i think that's well said. first problem for the democrats, it's obama care. republicans are committed inside the administration to making it fail. through underfunding and efforts, it will become less successful, a burden on the democrats. it could also become then a requirement for the republicans. one of the things we know already, public expectations are that there will be government c. not yet an entitlement, but

commitment. how the parties play with that will determine fate by 2018 in the off year elections. of professor miller, thanks for your time. >> stay with "action news" for continuing coverage of president trump's first 100 days, what the administration will work on next and what will happen to america's healthcare system. you may have seen security systems that notify homeowners on their cellphones that there is a breach and they have a problem. this may be the first time there has been a story of it working. dann cuellar tonight, dan? >> jim, it's an amazing story. a homeowner is at work in center city and gets a text from his surveillance system saying someone was inside. the homeowner called police and they nailed the robbers in their
