Utah Gov. Gary Herbert is backing a new plan by two Republican senators to repeal and replace President Barack Obama's signature health care law.
The GOP governor said at a news conference on KUED-TV Thursday that the plan from Sens. Lindsey Graham and Bill Cassidy offers the kind of flexibility he's been seeking for the state without a "one-size-fits-all" approach.
The legislation unveiled Wednesday would get rid of many of the subsidies and mandates of Obama's 2010 law. It would provide block grants to states to help individuals pay for health coverage.
