CNN to John Thune: Is It Fair to Say New Health Care Bill Does Not Repeal ObamaCare?

EXCERPT:

CABRERA: "We’re going to talk about Graham and Cassidy in a moment, but first let’s just talk about your revised version. It keeps two of the most highly criticized taxes from ObamaCare on high incomes, on investments. Is it fair to say this bill doesn’t fully repeal ObamaCare?"
THUNE: "I think it repeals the core of ObamaCare. It repeals the individual mandate, which requires people to buy insurance products that they don’t want and can’t afford. It repeals the employer mandate, it repeals many of the regulations and it repeals most of the taxes. The taxes that affect consumers, those taxes that get passed on that drive to higher insurance costs and higher health care costs."
