Hillary Clinton after health care bill pulled: 'Victory for all Americans'

Shortly after the House vote on the Obamacare repeal bill was pulled on Friday, President Trump said, "...now we'll go back to real life and people will see how bad it (Obamacare) is. And it's getting much worse."

Meanwhile, Hillary Clinton had a much different reaction on Twitter, calling it a "victory for all Americans."

She also posted a statement, noting, in part, "Today was a victory for the 24,000,000 people at risk of losing their health insurance, for seniors, for families battling the quiet epidemic of addiction, for new moms, and women everywhere. Most of all, it's a victory for anyone who believes affordable health care is a human right."

Clinton added, "The fight isn't over yet – we will have to push back on future bad ideas and embrace good ones to make health care more affordable — but we are reminded today that there is no substitute for standing up and defending our values."

House Speaker Paul Ryan would probably disagree with Clinton about GOP's health care plan being a "bad idea."

In his press conference after the bill's failure, Ryan said, in part, "I'm really proud of the bill that we produced. It would make a dramatic improvement in our health care system and provide relief to people hurting under Obamacare. And what's probably most troubling is the worst is yet to come with Obamacare. "
