Susan Collins leaning 'no' on Graham-Cassidy Obamacare bill
by Robert King | Sep 22, 2017, 12:46 PM

Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, is leaning against supporting the Republicans' latest Obamacare overhaul bill due in part to it stripping protections for people with pre-existing conditions, according to a published report.

If she does come out in opposition, which has been widely expected, then she would be the second Republican to publicly oppose the measure, joining Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky. Republicans would not be able to lose any more members as they need 50 votes to advance the measure, with Vice President Pence casting the deciding vote.

Collins told the Portland, Maine, Press Herald Friday that she is leaning "no" on the overhaul bill that eliminates the Medicaid expansion and turns Obamacare funding into block grants for states.

I don't know Paul is against and Paul is a doctor and a very conservative senator,
but then again Lee and Cruz are for it. Very confusing.

Paul is also a little weird and he is one of the All or Nothing People that are all too omnipresent here.

ARE Lee and Cruz for it?  Last I saw, they were undecided.

Yup.  He'll cut off his nose to spite his face.
