Burr: A series of fixes…maybe not repeal

North Carolina’s senior senator now acknowledges there are some good things in the health care package that President Obama signed earlier this month.

Republican Senator Richard Burr tells North Carolina Policy Watch that he would rather “replace” parts of the bill or see a “a series of fixes” moving forward to further contain costs and improve care.
