Sen. John Barrasso, R-Wyo., said Sunday morning he believes the Senate will pass the healthcare draft bill because it’s the only way to “cut down costs of care and insurance” for all Americans.
“I believe we will get it passed and that is the only way we can fundamentally change.. and cut down the cost of care and insurance,” Barrasso said on “Fox News Sunday” after Brit Hume asked if the senator believed they can sway Republicans who aren’t currently supporting the bill.
Barrasso praised the five GOP senators who oppose the bill in its current form, saying he believes each of them has “good points.” He said he’s ready to work with them.
“Everyone of them (Republican senators who don’t support current healthcare bill draft) is committed to a fundamental change away from Obamacare and central government control and into local control and patients making decisions,” Barrasso said.
