Insurers Come Out Swinging Against New Health Bill

[COLGATE4]

15. I wish I could share in your optimism but there are several

factors that lead me to believe it will. First, McConnell won't put it up for a vote unless he knows he has the number. He's already announced that it will be voted on next week. Secondly, the Repub's "No" column is really really thin. Susan Collins, who I believe is at best a 'maybe'. Rand Paul, who I wouldn't believe if his tongue came notarized. He'll vote for whoever pays him the best. And Murkowski, who may favor the Governor of Alaska (who says he's opposed to it) but then again may not. They're offering her a lot of $$ for Alaska to convince her to vote Yes. If only one of these three 'last best hopes' votes Yes it's all over. The numbers are hard to argue with.
