South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham was in Myrtle Beach Wednesday, talking about what he says are problems with President Barack Obama's health care reform.

Graham came to the Sea Captain's House restaurant, which he says will have to pay $225,000 more to insure its employees in 2014, when health care reform kicks in.

Graham says the bill is a back-door attempt to get government control over all of health care, and he wants to give states the ability to choose not to participate in it. "If the Congress allowed states to opt out, many states would. If you like Obama health care, under my plan, you can stay in it, but I want to give the people of South Carolina a chance to speak about this bill," Graham said.

Graham says if Congress doesn't repeal Obama's health care reform law, private health care will cease to exist.
