"Republican Sen. John Kennedy (La.) is reportedly eyeing a ban on state single-payer health care systems in the new GOP ObamaCare repeal bill.
"I think a single-payer system is a bad idea," the senator said Monday in comments reported by The Washington Examiner.
"I think if you give a big chunk of money to California they're going to go set up a single-payer system run by the state and then come back and say, 'We don't have enough money, we need more.' I think the only way we are going to solve the health care problem in America is through the private sector."
The GOP has once again embarked on a health care push, as Sens. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) and Bill Cassidy (R-La.) pursue their new legislation to repeal much of ObamaCare by converting funds into block grants to states. The bill, known as Graham-Cassidy, has yet to garner the 50 votes needed for a tie-breaking vote by Vice President Mike Pence.
Kennedy says he has submitted amendments to the bill in order to bar states from using the block grants to create single-payer systems."
