Trump tweet: McCain has taken ‘complete turn’ on repeal and replace

John McCain Monday afternoon in announcing that she would not support the Graham-Cassidy health care reform bill.

Republican senators released a new version of their health care proposal Sunday night aimed at winning support from a handful of still undecided senators.

KODJAK: Well, Senator Collins says, you know, she’s anxious about the cuts to the Medicaid program.

Democrats seem unimpressed by the new revisions, calling the explanation provided for smaller funding in states like Alaska as misleading.

Republican Sen. Susan Collins says she is opposed to latest GOP health care bill, essentially undermining prospects for its passage.

She also says she’s anxious about people with pre-existing conditions.

Sanders, meanwhile, says his Medicare for All bill will help the average family afford insurance, which is becoming unaffordable under the current system. The GOP has made promises to scrap the law a high-profile vow for years, and its failure to deliver despite controlling the White House and Congress has infuriated conservatives whose votes Republican candidates need.

Schumer said once Obamacare repeal is off the table, Democrats would work with Republicans “to find a compromise that stabilizes markets, that lowers premiums”. And that’s because this bill would have taken all this money from the Affordable Care Act and instead redistribute it to states to design their whole – their own health plans.

“The CBO’s analysis on the earlier version of the bill, incomplete though it is due to time constraints, confirms that this bill will have a substantially negative impact on the number of people covered by insurance”, she said Monday in a statement.

Collins said she had three “major concerns” with the proposed legislation from Sens. Rand Paul, who said he had promised his voters full repeal of Obamacare and this wasn’t that. “So we’re going to lose two or three votes, and that’s the end of that”.

Graham-Cassidy, the third and latest attempt to replace the law, repeals the individual and employer mandates, as well as the 2.3% medical device tax.

Some Republicans still had been holding out hope that the measure would get across the finish line. They’re concerned – Medicaid actually covers many, numerous people with severe disabilities in this country. “There’s absolute uncertainty and a bidding war going on now to carve out these states and give them more federal money to win that extra necessary vote”, Durbin said. “It kicks millions of people off insurance”.

Cruz wants more healthcare competition. “You ask the American people about whether or not they like Obamacare compared to your plan and overwhelmingly the American people like the Affordable Care Act”, he said.
