Sen. Lindsey Graham: Exercise Caution on Healthcare Bill

Sen. Lindsey Graham praised the House GOP's efforts to drum up more support for its healthcare bill but admitted he's concerned with the legislative process behind it.

The South Carolina Republican aired his thoughts on Twitter around midday Thursday, hours before the House was scheduled to vote on the American Health Care Act:

I appreciate the apparent progress on health care reform in the House of Representatives. I will admit, I’m concerned with the process.

A bill -- finalized yesterday, has not been scored, amendments not allowed, and 3 hours final debate -- should be viewed with caution.

In late March before a planned vote on the AHCA was scrapped over a lack of support, Graham advocated for keeping Obamacare in place and letting it collapse.

"Just let Obamacare collapse, then challenge the Democrats to come in and help us fix the mess they created," Graham said at the time.
