Susan Collins votes for the GOP plan to kill the very ACA subsidies she keeps telling us she supports.
The bill, which would push millions into expensive high deductible plans, would also make abortion coverage unattainable for millions of women.
All fine by Collins, apparently. #MEpolitics

By a vote of 51-48, the #Senate did not invoke cloture on the MTP to S.3386, a bill to provide a health savings account contribution to certain enrollees, to reduce health care costs, and for other purposes (Crapo/Cassidy).

Susan Collins is voting for both the clean extension and the junk Cassidy-Crapo bill, which is contradictory.

On Monday, Susan Collins put out a bill with $25/month premiums; yesterday she wouldn't take a position on a clean extension one way or the other; and now she's talking about a $5/month minimum.
She's just making up crap up as she goes along. Whatever this is, it's not representation. #MEpolitics

Susan Collins says she wants people to pay at least a $5/month premium, despite her own bill with Bernie Moreno saying $25/month

Hours before the Senate is set to votes on a clean extension of ACA subsidies that Susan Collins has said oughta be extended, here's the start of the very LAST sentence of PPH's article:
"Collins said she’s not committed to voting for or against the three-year extension."
Such jokers. #MEpolitics

ACA tax credits are set to expire. What is Maine’s congressional delegation doing?
Prospects for a deal among Democrats and Republicans are uncertain ahead of a key vote in the Senate on Thursday.

This is what always happens when some Dem priority Susan Collins is nominally 'in favor of' comes up for a vote: She sides *against* it but floats an optics-driven alternative designed to go nowhere.

The Susan Collins bill that people like, surprise, Carl Hulse are writing about isn't going anywhere.
She needs to vote for the clean extension and use her supposed power to get others on board.

She can actually cleanly extend ACA tax credits but simply refuses to.

Susan Collins did this.
Breaking news: A vaccine advisory panel has voted to end the long-standing recommendation that newborns receive the hepatitis B vaccine — the most significant change to the childhood immunization schedule under Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
CDC panel makes most sweeping revision to child vaccine schedule under RFK Jr.
The panel voted to eliminate a long-standing recommendation for every newborn to receive a hepatitis B shot, excluding those born to mothers testing negative.
