US healthcare bill: Knife-edge vote looms for 'Trumpcare'
In Los Angeles there is an emotional protest against Donald Trump's healthcare bill. US President Donald Trump is heading for a too-close-to-call vote on his troubled healthcare bill in the House. On Thursday, Mr Trump reportedly told mutinous Republicans that if they
did not vote for his bill - dubbed Trumpcare by Democrats - they would
be stuck with President Obama's act for good. White House officials told the representatives at a meeting earlier that
day that Mr Trump had finished negotiating and would move on with the
rest of his agenda if the bill failed. Mr Trump needs a minimum of 216 Republicans to vote for the bill. If 22 join the Democrats, the bill will fail. But US media tallies suggest between 28 and 35 Republicans still remain opposed. I think that it is selfish how Trump wants to replace Obamacare for 'Trumpcare' because everything Obama had left Trump wants to get rid of when it will affect a lot of U.S Citizens and residents.
