Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) has doubled the amount of money she's requesting in her ObamaCare stabilization bill in exchange for her vote on the GOP's tax reform plan.
Collins, a key vote on tax reform, is pushing for the passage of two ObamaCare bills in an attempt to mitigate the effects of the tax bill's repeal of the individual mandate.
One of those bills — sponsored by her and Sen. Bill Nelson (D-Fla.) — would provide states with $10 billion over two years to establish high-risk pools or reinsurance programs to lower premiums. That's more than double than the $4.5 billion originally requested in her bill, which she introduced in September.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said he would support passage of both bills, which could be added to the end-of-year spending deal.

Perhaps your 'fixes' aren't enough??
You lady and Murkowski and others are the most contemptible human beings that I have read about---------------you don't fucking get it
You are and your ilk of traitors that supports a fucking traitor.
You and 52 others and 243 in the house of traitors are supporting traitors, you fucking don't get, your a fucking traitor to the country you and your worthless traitor party (republican).
You have confirmed judges that will do harm to the system, without blinking a fucking eye, you have confirmed people that are going to hurt the land, water, and animals and people, without any second thoughts.
You let your leadership sit on judges from the past administration had sent for recommendation and not thing was done to have hearings on those people----------not one.
And whats really galling is that your party broke the rule of law (Constitution) and sat a right wing ideologue on the U.S. Supreme Court that should not be on the bench, and if there any lawsuits on this legislation of taxes get passed who do think he is going to side with, a truck driver freezing almost death along road side, because his employer didn't give a shit.
To further explain your disingenuous, where were you on 1/21/ 2017?
Republican woman, men, independents, democrats, liberals, children, Native Americans, were marching against a sexual predator, that promised that he was going to terrorize the country and now he is and the world and what are you and your party doing about it, trying to pass a BS legislation to screw people, with the donor class that are basically terrosrists.
And your fucking corrupt leader in your caucus is going to let you put legislation in to fund health care, sit down and think about that for one fucking minute------------------couldn't do last time but now----------------Fuck You, but you will still eliminate deductions--------so let us eat cake, is that your plan,let us have some fucking piece of cake ..................Fuck You
