Stephen Colbert took on Republicans' new healthcare bill Thursday night, sharing a quick update on its status in Congress.

"The GOP's new healthcare bill cleared its first hurdle early this morning when it was passed by the House Ways and Means Committee after roughly 18 hours of debate," Colbert began. "Any anyone who's spent 18 hours trying to pass something knows what you get in the end."

Though Democrats have their own suggestions for what the bill should be called, one thing's clear: the White House doesn't seem to want you to call it Trumpcare.

So naturally, Colbert's going to call it Trumpcare
