Uphill battle looms as Trump seeks revamped healthcare plan
None
US President Donald Trump, striving to make good on a top campaign promise, is pushing his fellow Republicans who control Congress to pass revamped healthcare legislation but the same intraparty squabbling that torpedoed it last month could do it again.
Trump is looking for his first major legislative victory since taking office in January. House of Representatives Republicans are exploring compromises aimed at satisfying the party's most conservative members without antagonizing its moderates, but it remained unclear on Friday whether a viable bill would emerge.
Trump on Friday played down the need for Congress to act on the legislation before he reaches his 100th day in office next weekend, telling reporters, "We'll see what happens—no particular rush." Trump on Thursday had predicted "a good chance of getting it soon," either "next week or shortly thereafter." On Friday, he said it "doesn't matter if it's next week."
