Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) says she will not vote with fellow Republicans for an Obamacare repeal bill that defunds Planned Parenthood. “The Affordable Care Act has failed in so many ways, but there are elements within it that deserve to be saved,” Murkowski said, according to CBS affiliate KTVA.
As she addressed the Alaska state legislature Wednesday, the Republican senator said Obamacare has allowed for the expansion of Medicaid and the opportunity for more than 27,000 Alaskan citizens to obtain health insurance coverage.
Additionally, Murkowski said the provisions for pre-existing conditions, coverage for adult children up to the age of 26, and mental health coverage are all positive aspects of Obamacare.
“As long as Alaska wants to keep the expansion it should have the option,” Murkowski said. “I will not vote to repeal it.”
Murkowski also says she supports Planned Parenthood.
“Taxpayer dollars should never be used to pay for abortions, but I will not vote to deny Alaskans access to the health services that Planned Parenthood provides,” she said.

She is playing to the Eskimo population. Remember, that is the population that was allowed to take a paper with her name written on it to the polling booth under the guise that they needed it so they could spell her name correctly. Seemed more like a way for telling them whom to vote for. Murkowski is about as crooked as they come.
So pick the one or two good things and incorporate them into new legislation. No sense keeping a "failed" law to save one or two good parts.
Stupid Cow.

IOW: F* all the Federal taxpayers, F* the other 329.5M citizens, Alaskans are entitled to your property, by threat of death, regardless of reason of opposition.
This is not a Republican, but a leftist who won with Democrat support.
She will never be primaries. She’s the best senator from Alaska that the left has ever had. They wrote her in to defeat Joe Miller, they would do it again in a heartbeat.
I can’t stand this woman.
That's how Senator Linda(RINO-SC) does it.
Probably a very cheap seat to steal. Maybe the GOP should do the same next time around.
