Please stop referring to whatever Ryan created as "Trumpcare," it is a very misleading label. I doubt Trump actually had anything to do with the bill proper, much less its details. My personal bet is that Donohue, President of The US Chamber of Commerce (i.e. corporate greed incarnate), had commissioned the contents of the bill and gotten Ryan to push it*. It's also rather interesting to note that the Koch brothers actually fought against the bill by threatening to defund any (R)s who voted for the bill, hence Ryan's failure to garner enough votes.

 

One thing is for sure: Paul Ryan's political dreams - if there were any left after losing with Romney in 2012 - have been shattered, completely. And, Trump will have no shortage of people to blame for Obamacare's inevitable failure in 2H 2017...

 

*- with Trump's implicit approval, I may add. I say "implicit" because Trump merely asked for healthcare solutions to be passed in congress, and while he did support Ryan and the bill proper, he already found an out through his day-one EO.
