Lindsey Graham Expresses Confidence In Last Ditch Republican Campaign To Destroy Obamacare [VIDEO]

ABC News reports:



A chief sponsor of Republican bill to dismantle Obamacare says he’s “never felt better about where we’re at” but stopped short of predicting the GOP has the votes to pass the measure. That word comes from South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham who spoke to reporters after Republicans’ closed-door luncheon where Vice President Mike Pence joined the lobbying effort for the measure.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell says lawmakers spent the luncheon talking about the bill and there was “lots of interest.” Graham says at the “end of the day” we need 50 votes. Republicans are aiming to vote by the end of the month before Democrats’ ability to filibuster legislation kicks in.

Vice President Mike Pence says the Trump administration is “all in” on a last-ditch effort by Republicans to undermine former President Barack Obama’s health care law. Graham says Trump called him Monday night to encourage him. The plan would replace much of Obama’s law with block grants to states and reshape Medicaid.
