President Donald Trump described a new healthcare bill introduced by Senate Republicans as “a great bill.”

The bill, which was introduced by senators Bill Cassidy (R-LA), and Lindsey Graham (R-SC), will be put to a vote in the Senate on Sept. 30, the last day on which the bill can be passed through the budget reconciliation process. Under the reconciliation procedure Republicans only need 51 votes to pass it as opposed to 60.
