Story highlights Senate Republicans unveiled the measure Thursday

The House previously passed their own legislation

Washington (CNN) President Donald Trump said Thursday "a little negotiation" is needed to add more heart to the "very good" health care bill, as Senate Republicans finally publicly released their legislation.

Trump has irked some Republicans by arguing the Senate bill needs more funding and "heart," suggesting the House bill was not compassionate enough to people who rely on health care.
