The whole reason: EVERYONE despised this bill.

The Koch Brothers couldn't stand it because they thought it "extended Obamacare."

The Democrats hated it because it was an atrocious piece of work.

The House Lipton Caucus hated it because it wouldn't kill enough people.

And the House Wants To Be Reelected Caucus hated it because it would kill too many.

The only one who actually liked it is Donald Trump.
