美国总统特朗普和国会之间的首次重大斗争以前者的撤退告终。由于新版医改法案因远未争取到多数票支持，游说失败的特朗普政府在投票前的最后时刻将其撤回，该法案可以说是胎死腹中。特朗普将首战折戟归咎于民主党人的反对，然而法案不仅没有获得一位民主党的支持，也受到了来自共和党内的阻力——一些保守派（conservative hard-liner）认为新的法案避重就轻、变化不大（left too much of the ACA in place），与之前的奥巴马医改法案没有本质上的区别，予以坚决反对；而另一些温和派（moderates）则认为法案过于激进，担心太多的美国人民将失去医保（leave their constituents uncovered），也不愿出面支持。这次关键政策议程未能通过共和党占多数的议会，是对特朗普政府的一次巨大打击（dealt a major blow），也令人们开始质疑共和党的内部凝聚力，动摇了各界对本届政府接下来立法项目的信心（ability to advance other high-stakes priorities）。特朗普曾自矜具有出色的交易天赋（a skilled deal-maker），可通过折衷和妥协（willing to strike compromise）达成看似不可能的目的。这次失利无疑打压了他的锐气，破坏了他成交大师的形象。
