Paul still supports repealing, replacing ObamaCare at the same time
Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) on Sunday said he still supports repealing and replacing ObamaCare at the same time.
During an interview on CNN’s “State of the Union,” Paul was asked about his comments earlier this year, when he said it would be a mistake for Republicans not to vote for replacement on the same day as repeal.
“I still like that guy from January, and I still agree with him,” Paul said about his past comments.
{mosads}”Really, I’ve always been talking about replace at the same time. The problem is, Republicans can’t seem to agree on what replacement means.”
Paul said he thought Republicans agreed on what replacement meant, but found out many didn’t.
“If we could do both at the same time, absolutely I’m still for that,” he said. “I can even say you can do it in separate bills. I’m looking for a way to get this done.”
Paul also expressed disappointment in some of his fellow Senate Republicans for their positions on healthcare.
