Trump says latest Obamacare repeal plan has 'very good chance'

NEW YORK (Reuters) - President Donald Trump said on Wednesday he thought the latest effort to repeal and replace Obamacare had a "very good chance" of passing and said the U.S. Senate eventually would be forced to make a deal on the issue. "I think there's tremendous support for it. I think it's actually much better than the previous shot," Trump told reporters in New York. "I thought that when I won (the election) I would go to the Oval Office, sit down at my desk, and there would be a healthcare bill on my desk, to be honest. And it hasn't worked out that way. And I think a lot of Republicans are embarrassed by it." Trump said he hoped the latest effort would succeed. "We think this has a very good chance," he said, describing President Barack Obama's signature healthcare law as dysfunctional. "At some point the Senate is going to be forced to make a deal. They're just about at that point right now." (Reporting by Jeff Mason; Editing by Jonathan Oatis)
