BALDWIN: All right, fresh out of lunch with Republican leadership. Here's the Senate majority leader on health care today, Mitch McConnell.</s>SEN. MITCH MCCONNELL (R), MAJORITY LEADER: And lead (ph) off. So, have at it</s>SEN. LINDSEY GRAHAM (R), SOUTH CAROLINA: Well, number one, I've never felt better about where we're at. It's pretty well clear to me where the country's going under Obamacare and Berniecare. It's going into further bankruptcy. It's more decisions further away from where you live. And in 1996 we block granted d money for welfare reform and it worked like a charm. We put governors in charge of the program. We held them accountable. So here's the choice for America. Socialism or federalism when it comes to your health care? Four states get 40 percent of the money under Obamacare, New York, California, Massachusetts and Maryland. They represent 20 percent of the population. Our goal is by 2026 to make sure that every patient in every state gets the same contribution roughly from the federal government and allow people in your states to make decisions that would have been made in Washington. The most beneficial aspect of this bill is follows. If you don't like Obamacare, who do you complain to? You can complain to me, but I sure as hell don't run it. If I could get South Carolina in charge of this money, that would have been spent in Washington by a bureaucratic who's unelected, I promise every South Carolinian the following, if you don't like your health care, somebody will listen to you. It's your governor and your state house representative. You can go to the state house respective, who most likely goes to the same hospital you do. You can go to your governor, who will listen to you because they care about your vote if nothing else.
