Rand Paul not budging on Obamacare overhaul

Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., is still opposed to the Republican plan to reform federal healthcare policy, even after it was revamped late Sunday to entice GOP holdouts.
A spokesperson for Paul's office confirmed Monday he is still a "no" after reviewing the latest version of a healthcare bill from Sens. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., and Bill Cassidy, R-La. Paul has been a staunch opponent of the legislation, which senators say is their last chance to repeal Obamacare, because it leaves in far too much of the law's taxes.
The legislation cuts Obamacare funding and gives it to states in the form of block grants. It also cuts Medicaid funding overall through a per capita system that gives states funding based on the number of Medicaid beneficiaries.
