Sen. Richard Burr (R-NC) on Thursday indicated that he’s not optimistic about the Senate’s chances to pass a comprehensive bill to repeal and replace Obamacare this year.
“I don’t see a comprehensive health-care plan this year,” he told North Carolina television station WXII 12 News.
Burr also said that the House bill is “dead on arrival” in the Senate.
The senator’s comments come after Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) said last week that he’s not sure how the Senate will pass an Obamacare repeal bill.
“I don’t know how we get to 50 at the moment,” he told Reuters. “But that’s the goal.”
