Trump criticises Republican healthcare reform

US President Donald Trump has called the healthcare reform bill approved in May by the Republicans in the House of Representatives "petty".

The President also called on his colleagues in the Senate to make it "more generous," sources from Congress told the media on Tuesday, Efe news reported. A month after praising the House-approved bill and ensuring it was "incredibly well-crafted," Trump urged the senators to make substantial changes to the same bill, which has been designed to replace President Barack Obama's health reform implemented in 2010, but still needs the Senate's approval, according to legislative sources cited by media outlets CNN and The Hill.

In particular, Trump believes the bill approved by the House does not go far enough to protect Americans who depend on health insurance under Obama's Health Care reform. Doubts over the future of the bill in the Senate rose after the Congressional Budget Office issued a report in May predicting that if the Republican reform is to go ahead, 23mn people will lose their medical coverage.
