In a move that will likely scuttle the Republicans’ latest attempt to take healthcare away from millions of people, Senator Susan Collins announced she will vote no on Graham-Cassidy Monday afternoon.
Specifically citing the bill’s cuts to Medicaid and lack of protections for people with pre-existing conditions, Collins is one of three public “no” votes thus far. From CNN:
“Sweeping reforms to our health care system and to Medicaid can’t be done well in a compressed time frame, especially when the actual bill is a moving target,” Collins said. The bill would also “open the door for states to weaken protections for people with pre-existing conditions, such as asthma, cancer, heart disease, arthritis and diabetes.”
