President Trump reportedly said if the House GOP's plan to repeal and replace ObamaCare fails to pass, he'll let existing healthcare law fail and will blame the Democrats.

The president made the comments during a meeting including leaders of some conservative groups opposed to the House GOP's plan, CNN reported.

The president criticized the groups — which included representatives from Club for Growth, the Heritage Foundation, Americans for Prosperity, FreedomWorks and the Tea Party Patriots — for referring to the plan as "ObamaCare lite."

Trump cautioned that they were "helping the other side" with such remarks.

"This is going to be great. You're going to make it even greater," he told the group, according to sources at the meeting.

"I'm going to work hard to get it done."

The meeting was also attended by chief strategist Stephen Bannon, White House chief of staff Reince Priebus and Trump's top aide, Kellyanne Conway.

Trump during the meeting also talked about his plan to ensure the legislation, called the American Health Care Act, passes the Senate.
