House Speaker Paul Ryan talks Friday after Republicans pulled their bill to replace Obamacare just before a planned House vote.
The GOP failed to rally the support needed to pass the bill, facing pressure from both its conservative and moderate wings. Republicans faced a tough choice in voting for the proposal, which was estimated to lead to a larger number of people uninsured and was unpopular in some opinion polls.
