President Donald Trump confirmed Sunday he had called the House-approved health-care bill too mean, and he claimed former President Barack Obama stole that descriptor from him.

Trump used the term mean during a meeting with senators earlier this month, according to reports, telling them that the Senate version should be more generous. White House press secretary Sean Spicer had dismissed the mean comment just a rumor as recently as last week.

Trump did not explain why he privately called the bill mean just weeks after publicly praising it as a great bill as he celebrated its passage on the White House lawn with House Republicans.

On Thursday, Obama ripped the Senates version for its fundamental meanness.

Simply put, if theres a chance you might get sick, get old, or start a family this bill will do you harm, Obama wrote in a Facebook post. And small tweaks over the course of the next couple weeks, under the guise of making these bills easier to stomach, cannot change the fundamental meanness at the core of this legislation.

While a number of Republican senators have expressed their wariness of the bill, Trump said Sunday he was confident it would win approval. Health care is a very, very tough thing to get, but I think were going to get it, he said.
