Richard Burr: John Locke Foundation Headliner luncheon
Richard Burr is North Carolina's senior U.S. senator. He was first elected to the U.S. Senate in 2004 after serving a decade in the U.S. House of Representatives. In January, Burr joined fellow U.S. senators Tom Coburn and Orrin Hatch in presenting an alternative health care reform plan. Widely viewed as the most thoughtful and constructive plan yet developed to repeal and replace Obamacare, the plan seeks to ensure that as many Americans have health coverage as Obamacare does. It's a proposal grounded in the real-world tradeoffs that all serious reformers must make. In this speech, Burr discusses "The Patient Choice, Affordability, Responsibility, and Empowerment Act: The Promise of the Burr-Coburn-Hatch Health Reform Plan."
