Durbin is citing his own recent cardiac procedure to point out what he and other Democrats say are flaws in the legislation.

There he plans to urge his Senate colleagues to reject the health care bill passed last week in the House.

House Republicans have scrapped a vote on their health care replacement plan after defections from both the right and center that made it clear the bill would not pass.

Trump agreed with Ryan's plan to halt the vote.
