Those poor struggling insurance companies are paying their CEO’s $31.5 million(Aetna) and $22 million (United Healthcare) with the others not far behind. Why do they need any more Middle Class taxpayers’ money when they are already ripping them off charging skyrocketing premiums?

She and Lisa and John should get the same medical care that Charlie Gard got.

Too bad her ethical posturing doesn't extend to the fraudulent scam the senate pulled to keep themselves from being forced onto Obamacare for the last 8 years.

They decided that Obamacare was good enough for us citizens but not good enough for themselves.

How did they exempt themselves from Obamacare?

By lying. By fraud.

They lied that the senate and congress were each small businesses with less than 50 employees.
That allowed senators and congressmen to fraudulently qualify for the "Under 50 Employee" small business exemption.

They claimed the 435-member House had only 45 members and 45 staffers, and that the 100-member Senate had only 45 employees total.

Congress Is Getting A Special Exemption From ObamaCare--And No, It's Not Legal

Maine’s Republican Sen. Susan Collins said that she would not be swayed by President Donald Trump’s apparent threats to pull the plug on key Obamacare funds, including subsidies for members of Congress and their staff.

Big talk, coming from a traitor.

How is money going to the insurance company not a bailout? Which then the insurance companies give some money back to the senators. It’s a scam

McCain sure knows about bailouts.

Perhaps some FReepers can correct my memory or fill in the blanks, but I still remember his emergency trip to D.C. about bailing out the auto industry, which lead to a President Obama and the lack of a wonderful, brilliant lady in the White House.

Sarah is much smarter and more capable than any in the elite gave her credit for.

Would love to be a fly on the wall on some of those meetings where McCain apparently decided to lose.

Those meetings were a bit more secret than the dinner discussion between President Trump and Vladimir Putin. LOL!

“Maine’s Republican Sen. Susan Collins said that she would not be swayed by President Donald Trump’s apparent threats to pull the plug on key Obamacare funds, including subsidies for members of Congress and their staff. “

imho she would get crushed if she tried to defend congressional subsidies in public.

I want to see how much Collins gets in campaign contributions from the insurance companies. I also want to see all of Congress pay for their own insurance and not have it subsidized by the American people. This shouldn’t be a threat, it should be an action.

In fairness we need to blame the constituents in Maine.

Apparently they value her ability to deliver pork for highway projects and community centers more than the welfare of the nation.

Collins is finished.

A more blatant attempt to pu$$y whip pork out of the legislative process has never been seen.

This b*tch hates America.

Time for her to GO!

Same with Murki-cow-ski and McPain.Incredible ash-haoles.
