Thursday in an interview with Greensboro, NC’s WXII 12 News, Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Sen. Richard Burr (R-NC) said he does not think the Senate will be able to pass a “comprehensive” plan to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act by the end of 2017.
Burr said, “It’s unlikely that we will get a health care deal, which means that most of my time has been spent trying to figure out solutions to Iowa losing all of its insurers, to Tennessee potential losing theirs, to North Carolina having one insurer in 95 out of 100 counties. ”
He added, “I don’t see a comprehensive health care plan this year.”
