Lee on healthcare: Lumping too much into one bill dooms its chances

Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) during an interview that aired Sunday warned that putting too much into one piece of legislation makes it more difficult for it to pass.

During an interview on CBS’s “Face The Nation,” Lee addressed the Senate healthcare bill, saying the government needs to “re-inject free market forces in this environment.”

“If we can’t get this done … what we ought to do is … push full repeal and then embark on an iterative step-by-step process to decide what comes next,” he said.
