WASHINGTON — Senator Susan Collins of Maine said on Monday that she would oppose the latest plan to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act, leaving Republican leaders clearly short of the votes they need for passage.
Ms. Collins, a Republican, announced her opposition in a written statement, delivering a significant and possibly fatal blow to the party’s seven-year quest to dismantle the health law.

Eventually we’ll have Soviet Union style health care thanks to the Republicans. And I’m sure the American people will not know how we got there, except that it will be the Republicans fault. Just as planned.

Well folks, Obamacare it is. We have the best health care in the world. Now we've embraced it for the third time this year.
Pffffft!

Graham-Cassidy might actually have been worse than ObamaCare.
When you block grant Medicaid, you encourage blue states to set up Single Payer. When we allowed Romney to implement RomneyCare, it became the template for national ObamaCare. Libs didn't like the cost shift, but they loved the block granting - would have given them the power to set up national Single Payer.

No wonder Collins, McCain, and other “Republicans” don’t give a rat’s ass about undocumented (illegal aliens) immigrants.
They’ve become a part of the undocumented culture.

There was no repeal and very little replace in the bill.
The ACA would be amended, but live on.

The Republicans are committing mass suicide for the nation to see. Each time they go through this exercise with each new version, it gets worse. I suspect many of the GOPe are going to be happy and if they lose the majority, they will also be happy as they settle back in the comfy chair as the token opposition.
