House Health Care Bill DOA in the Senate
Senator Lindsey Graham, R-SC, said that the House health care bill passed Saturday is “dead on arrival to the Senate.”
According to CBS, Graham argued that the House bill was “written for liberals, by liberals.
“Just look at how it passed; it passed 220 to 215. It passed by two votes. You had [39] Democrats vote against the bill,” he said.
Graham warned of a filibuster, especially if the bill comes to the Senate floor including the so-called public option.
CBS sated that Graham believes a public option would “destroy” private health care, saying that insurance companies could not compete against the lower premiums of a government-backed plan. “It will be a death blow to private choice,” he said.
