Reporter House Speaker paul ryan calls this a disappointing day for republicans. We came really close today. But we came up short. Reporter the Trump Administration says its done everything it can.

Reporter others were swayed after changes were made to the first version of the Health Care Plan. Obamacare is collapsing, premiums are skyrocketing, providers are fleeing.

Reporter House Democrats insist there is nothing to gloat about on capitol hill this week, even if it has been embarrassing for republicans.

We spoke with abc news political director rick kline earlier about whats next for republicans now that this vote has been postponed. Theyre going to need to regroup and figure out what else they can get done that they can start to put some legislative wins on the board. Move on perhaps to tax reform. Restrategize. But the whole strategy, the whole first 100 days was built around getting a quick and decisive win on health care. Now they have to go back to the drawing board. Figure out how else they can get these done. These sort of legislative victories have an inertia of their own and defeats also breed defeats. They have to stop that. President trump said hes shifting his attention to tax reform. He and the republicans made it clear obamacare at least for the time being is here to stay.

Will it be enough ahead of next weeks nfl owners vote . Plus the trains are ready to roll. The b. A. R. T. Expansion is set to open this weekend and well give you a sneak peek. And combatting crowded streets. This video was shot just this afternoon as cars fought to get onto the bay bridge. The unusual new effort to ease congestion and how it could affect your commute. Speaking of your commute, coming up on 4 12, this is a live look at the san mateo bridge. As you can see, roads are very wet. Left side is eastbound traffic and that is all jammed up. Right side cars are moving slowly but at least they have got some room there. Room to move across down toward the peninsula. Back with more on abc 7 news at 4 this afternoon the city of oakland is making an 11th hour pitch to try to keep the raiders. The question is, is it too little too late. The city released a letter it sent to the nfl pleading with the league to help get the raiders back to the negotiating table to keep the team in oakland. Part of that letter read we believe we have a superior proposal at a proven site in a much stronger market. The mayor, libby schaaf, says the Investment Firm trying to build a new raiders stadium is willing to lend money to the team on the same terms the bank of america will do for the vegas proposal. The stadium here would be up to 700 million less expensive than the proposed site in las vegas. As of now, the relocation vote is expected next week, probably monday, at the owners meetings in phoenix. Right now it is believed that mark davis has the votes necessary to relocate, but this new proposal could change everything. Heres my two cents. Perhaps the biggest obstacle to keeping the team in oakland all alone has been owner mark davis and his unwillingness to sit down and work out a deal to stay here. Davis is, however, willing to take on a massive amount of debt to move to vegas when he could invest far less money just to stay here. Its that massive debt along with many Unanswered Questions in las vegas, especially financially, that could possibly get nfl owners to at least hesitate on voting yes to relocation. Theres speculation the raiders might get some sort of conditional approval to move pending a deep dive of financial ramifications. My opinion right now is best case for oakland is that this new proposal makes owners just pause and delay a vote because the nfl, if they have their druthers, theyd much rather see the raiders stay in oakland. This last ditch very much a hail mary situation so we have to see how it all shakes out and what happens on monday. Abc 7 News ReporterLaura Anthony will be in phoenix for those owners meetings. Lauras live reports will begin sunday here on abc 7 news and shell break any news raiders related, first on twitte twitter lauraanthony7.

Pilots at American Airlines are accusing their employer of leaving thousands of standby passengers on the ground. The allied Pilots Association claims american leaves standby passengers behind in order to boost the companys ontime performance.

Authorities will focus on the eastbound bay bridge onramp at sterling street and bryant street. Cheaters make up as much as 50 of ramp traffic there.
