WASHINGTON, July 10 (Xinhua) -- The possibility of passing a new healthcare legislation to replace Obamacare, as U.S. President Donald Trump has campaigned Jamie Benn Youth Jersey , looked unsure as it remains unknown whether it will get the full backing of the president's own party.


Among key members of the Republican Party who have voiced skepticism, former president candidate John McCain said Sunday the legislation is "going to be dead."


Trump wrote on his social media account on Monday that "I cannot imagine that Congress would dare to leave Washington without a beautiful new Healthcare bill fully approved and ready to go!" referring to the August Congressional recess.

However, there is a chance that the Trump administration and the Republicans can avoid a lasting damage to the agenda, Mahaffee said Ben Bishop Womens Jersey , if they can quickly transition to tax reform and infrastructure.


"That said, it would be a significant loss of momentum given the effort put into it over the last 160
