Trump noted the fact that revisions to health-care bills in both the Senate and the House have been made to draw support from wavering legislators. But in the process, those revisions lose support from other lawmakers who might have supported earlier versions of a bill to significantly reform the Affordable Care Act.

"You get a couple here and you say, great, and then you find out you just lost four over here," Trump said.

"Health care is tough," said Trump.

"But," the president added, "I think we're going to have something that's really good and that people are going to like."

"We're going to find out over the next you know, we just extended for two weeks," Trump said, referring to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's decision to delay the Senate recess to get a health bill passed, along with other legislation.

Two GOP senators, Susan Collins of Maine and Rand Paul of Kentucky, said they were opposed to the revised bill as currently written. At least five other Republican senators indicated they were undecided. If GOP leaders have three defections on the bill from their own caucus, they will be unable to get the 50 votes they need to pass the bill.
