Lindsey Graham: ‘Obamacare was designed to fail’

Published July 14, 2017 3:34pm ET



Sen. Lindsey Graham said Friday that he believed Obamacare was designed to collapse in order to set the stage for a government-led, single-payer program.

“It was designed to make sure that employers would drop coverage because it’s too expensive, that exchanges would fail and the government would come in and take over and you’d have single payer healthcare,” Graham, R-S.C., said on the Mike Gallagher radio show, answering questions provided by the Washington Examiner.
