Thomas Donohue, the president and CEO of the Chamber of Commerce, on Thursday vowed to use all of the Chamber's resources to fight single-payer health care proposals.

"We also have to respond to calls for government-run, single-payer health care, because it just doesn't work," Donohue said during his annual "State of American Business" address.

"We'll use all our resources to make sure that we're careful there," he said, though his previously released prepared remarks had said the Chamber would use all of its resources to "combat it."

The Chamber is one of the most powerful lobbying groups in Washington, and it routinely spends more than any other industry in its efforts, according to Open Secrets.

In 2017, it spent $82 million on lobbying, topping all other groups.
