Facing growing opposition from members of his own party, Senate Majority
Leader Mitch McConnell has delayed the vote on the Republicans'
healthcare bill until after Congress's 4 July recess.
The schedule change is another setback for Donald Trump's effort to
repeal and replace the Affordable Care
Act – which he has repeatedly referred to as "dead".
Mr Trump told reporters on Wednesday that "healthcare is working along
very well...we're gonna have a big surprise. We have a great healthcare
package."
CBO says Senate bill will cause 22m Americans to lose health insurance.
When asked what that meant, Mr Trump responded "we're going to have a
great, great surprise."
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is reportedly trying to revise
the healthcare bill by Friday.
