Trump’s ultimatum to congress: ‘I’ll walk’ if no vote on healthcare Friday

The showdown between President Trump and the rebels in the GOP who are holding up a vote on replacing Obamacare has come to a head.
A vote in the House of Representatives on replacing the nation’s healthcare scheme was originally scheduled for earlier this week, but was delayed due to objections from the “freedom caucus” – conservative congressmen unhappy with Trumpcare’s tax incentives to purchase health insurance, among other provisions.
They also object to penalties which the new bill allows insurers to assess if customers elect to drop coverage.
