Sen. Bill Cassidy, R-La., said he plans in 2018 to revive his bill to repurpose Obamacare funds into block grants that would go directly to states.

Cassidy said at an Axios event on Wednesday that the bill could become successful under a better process that gives him more time to sell the bill to Republicans and Democrats. The bill was pulled by Senate leadership late last month after a handful of Republican senators defected and killed the bill.
