In a radio interview with Chris Fitzsimon, Director of North Carolina Policy Watch, Sen. Richard Burr (R-NC) said that he might not seek full repeal of President Obama’s health care overhaul — even though some Republican lawmakers have promised to run on repeal.

Apparently in response to criticism that Republicans have become the “party of no,” Burr said, “I don’t believe it’s good enough to be against something, you have to be for something.”

Burr went on:

It may not be total repeal at the end of the day. It may be a series of fixes over the course of this bill getting enacted that enable us to possibly change and bend that cost curve down.

Here’s a preview of the interview, which will be aired on Sunday:
