WASHINGTON (AP) Congressional sources say President Donald Trump has told Republican senators that the House health care bill is mean and that the Senate version should be more generous.
The remarks were a surprising critique of a Republican-written House measure whose passage Trump fought for and embraced. They also seem to undercut efforts by Senate conservatives to impose restrictions in their chambers legislation, such as curbing the Medicaid health care program for the poor and limiting the services insurers must cover.
The sources say the president did not say what aspects of the bill he was characterizing.
Trumps comments were described by people who received accounts of a White House lunch Trump had Tuesday with 15 GOP senators. They spoke on condition of anonymity to reveal a closed-door conversation.

(10,055 posts)4. uh oh. Trump must have seen his fake news approval numbers
So he calls a meeting to disregard his past praising of the AHCA ... and he pisses enough sycophants off that after they kiss his ass, they turn around and leak it to the press (fake news).
