Hmmm... What could have made Collins change her mind so suddenly? Could it be Trump’s threat to stop the bailouts for insurance companies? One of Susan Collins’s biggest donors is Blue Cross/Blue Shield. They contributed $75,000 to her last campaign. The one thing insurance companies like even less than getting rid of Obamacare, is keeping it minus the subsidies.
These people have no chance against Trump. He knows all the leverage points, understands the game, and is not afraid to play hardball.
Hmmm. Sounds like a bit of cognitive dissonance.
Hey... Christmas in July has just passed, but perhaps a belated gift? ;)
Hojczyk, you have to be of Eastern European origin. I'm half-Czech and my grandfather spoke fluent Polish (I hail from Chicago). :)
Maybe phone and emails...or polling or TRUMP
Or her sugar daddy's in the insurance racket are screaming bloody murder over losing their government subsidy checks maybe?
Good post.
Or just lip-service.
Duly marked.

No, it’s Trump’s threat. Simply removing the subsidies destroys the ACA post haste.
