Sen. Rand Paul, MD, R-Ky., said over the weekend a "true negotiation" on the American Health Care Act will require more pushback from House Republicans, Politico reports.
Here are four things to know.
1. Sen. Paul did an interview Sunday with host John Dickerson on CBS' "Face the Nation."
2. During the interview, Sen. Paul discussed the AHCA and what would be required for "true negotiations" among Republicans to begin, according to the report.
"The real negotiation period comes — and I promise this is the way it's going to work: We will get Obamacare-lite, [Republican House Speaker Paul] Ryan's plan, unless there's enough conservatives in the House to say no," he said, according to Politico. "No negotiation right now counts, until [Republicans] determine to have enough votes to stop Obamacare-lite."
3. The senator further claimed the AHCA would not pass the Senate in its current form.
4. Sen. Paul's remarks came about a week after House Republicans unveiled the AHCA.
