Multiple lawmakers left a meeting with House Republican leadership on Monday night, confirming that the House version of the omnibus spending bill will not include an Obamacare bailout package proposed by Sens. Lamar Alexander (R-TN) and Susan Collins (R-ME). Congress must pass the omnibus spending bill before midnight Friday or the government will shut down. The proposed bailout package would include Obamacare’s cost-sharing reduction subsidies for three years and funding a federal reinsurance program for three years in exchange for increased flexibility for states through federal waivers. The program would also expand eligibility for Obamacare “copper” plans. The removal of the Obamacare bailout proposal deals a blow to Sen. Collins, who secured support from Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) to support the bailout measure in exchange for her vote for the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act in December.

WTH? Do I need more caffeine!? Looks to me like there’s a bailout in there....
How about funding Sanctuary cities?
Grrrrr....
The Obamacare ‘Stability’ Bill Likely Wouldn’t Lower Premiums
There's no "there" yet.
Senate bill has bailouts, House bill has none.
Reconciliation will determine - assuming each bill passes in current state, in each body.
What concerns me is the desire to make damn sure one is in there....
Expected, with the likes of Collins and McConnell in there.
Strange: Repubs trying to keep ZeroCare alive?
We need new GOP senators.
Flake, Corker, Hatch, Heller, Alexander, Graham, McCain, Murkowsky, Hoeven, Rubio, Tillis, Burr, Lankford, Gardner, Cornyn, Cochran, Collins, Sasse, Kennedy, Shelby, Ernst, Blunt, McConnell, Wicker, Portman, Isakson, Johnson, Toomey, Rounds, Thune, Gaines, Barasso and Enzi are all Bush League Republicans hell bent on making America into North Mexico
Why is Collins a member of the Republican party. She really is a communist. Is she really there to spy on back room private discussions? Kick her out of the party.
Please...stop the theatrics. Shut this loser government down for several months. Do not back - pay the “workers”.
