White House chief of staff, Reince Priebus, told “Fox News Sunday” that Trump still expected the Senate to pass a healthcare bill either before the start of Congress’ August recess “or maybe a little bit into” the recess. “I cannot imagine that Congress would dare to leave Washington without a beautiful new HealthCare bill fully approved and ready to go!” Trump said early Monday in a post on Twitter. The Republican-controlled House of Representatives in May passed its own version of a bill overhauling healthcare. But opponents deride the Republican healthcare bill as a giveaway to wealthy Americans who would see some tax increases rolled back. The Senate bill is unpopular with voters.
