Susan Collins: I 'hope' my votes to destroy health care don't actually destroy health care

Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) is desperately trying to escape her responsibility should federal courts strike down the entirety of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), which would cause millions of families to lose their health care.

On Tuesday, Collins could barely muster any concern for the havoc she played a role in creating, saying that the case "may well end up at the Supreme Court and it's my hope and belief that the Supreme Court won't strike the law down."

More than 130 million Americans with preexisting conditions could lose health care protections if the Trump-backed lawsuit against the ACA is successful. More than a half-million of those people live in Maine — and the best Collins can offer them is "hope."

16. She is a sitting Senator...and Maine elected a right wing nut job for what two or three terms?

She won't be easy to beat...but we should try...our Senate prospects are dismal...we should try really hard in any state we have a chance and next time target all 50 states...

9. Despicable liar

[McKim]

12. Openly admits to abdicating legislative responsibility. Time for a new Senator who accepts that role

13. Another GOP Moron

Absolute Hypocrite.

14. Played games with her vote. Now, we all face uncertain consequences. nt

15. Before Collins voted to confirm Kavanaugh she voted to repeal the indivual mandate

as part of the GOP tax scam. With there being no more individual mandate now. That is the entire pretext repukes are now using to strike down the law. Collins needs to lose in 2020.

17. Shut up, Susan.

That's always my reply to the moron.
