A number of advertisements cheering the Obamacare replacement bill that never came this week aired on TV Friday while millions of Americans tuned in to watch March Madness and NBA basketball.

The ads, paid for by political nonprofit American Action Network, played on CBS in certain markets congratulating various Republicans for supporting the American Health Care Act, which on Friday was pulled from the House floor when it became all but certain it didn’t have the votes to pass.
