In a meeting with senators earlier this month, Mr. Trump called the House’s AHCA “mean.”

Mr. Obama reacted to the Senate’s healthcare bill Thursday in a Facebook post that brought attention to its “inherent meanness.”

In a Sunday interview on “Fox and Friends” Mr. Trump admitted that the Senate’s bill was not perfect, but that “we don’t have too much of a choice, because the alternative is the dead carcass of Obamacare.”
