Collins confident health subsidies will be in spending bill

Funding for key ObamaCare insurer subsidies is likely to be included in the upcoming government funding bill, Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) said Wednesday.

Collins said she had received reassurances Tuesday from Vice President Pence that the subsidies, opposed by House conservatives, would be in the funding bill.

“The vice president and I had a discussion yesterday that reinforced that agreement that the bills will be considered before the end of the year,” Collins said.

Collins told reporters she is confident that deal will be honored in the upcoming government spending bill, and a key conservative in the House backed up her confidence.
“I think she has every reason to believe that it’ll be included,” said House Freedom Caucus Chairman Mark Meadows (R-N.C.). “I’m not supportive of that position, but I don’t know that she’s misled in her confidence.”

Your so full of proverbial shit is amazing.

Your tax plan that you are going to vote for, you keep forgetting about what happens next year, when your fucking party is going to start screaming about the budget to offset the trillion plus hole deficit your party created, so your fucking worthless leader and the pin head leader in the House, are going to come forward next year and demand cuts to these programs, your math still does not add up and you in essence are going to force those of us on these two or three programs to, cut medication for example to die, because we are on a fixed income and already paid for these programs in Treasury Bonds, that you want to give to private firms..........................

And you lady want to give the banks that are on this asshole Meadows donor list the means to charge me and millions of others to pay fees when it privatized................

Your nothing more than a con artist and to think that some asshole from some group called the freedom caucus got this much from "dark money" is amazing

This is a list of contributors from this site and tell me and everyone else who the fuck are the Koch's:

Let me tell you, the same assholes, that are gutting the EPA, the same assholes that want me and millions of others to have my Social Security and Medicare money be given to them, like I owe it to them! FUCK THEM and the HORSE they Rode IN ON........................................

They call it Tax reform, as we know.
Remember Collins just last week was complaining that Yertle had got her vote by lying to her about the tax bill, which is how they moved it to this stage for the vote.

So she retains plausible deniability when they scream at her for helping to murder them?

I'd believe it.

This whole thing is an act so that she can vote for the bill and then feign outrage when people start to see the consequences.
