A key Republican senator, who is likely to decide the fate of her party’s latest effort to repeal the Affordable Care Act and phase-out Medicaid, says she will rely on a Trump administration office with a history of producing cooked figures in order to determine whether to back the bill.
Earlier this week, the Congressional Budget Office announced that, due to the rushed process Senate Republicans are using to try to pass the latest version of Trumpcare, it will not be able to fully evaluate the bill until after a vote is expected next week. That leaves senators flying blind, without the office’s guidance on crucial questions like how many people will lose coverage under the bill, or how the legislation will impact insurance premiums.
Outside estimates show that at least 32 million people will lose health insurance by 2027 if the latest Trumpcare bill becomes law.

Lets be clear here, she more than likely will be out of office collecting a taxpayer funded retirement program, this bill has not had a full CBO scored before they vote..................this is outrageous and is BS,to wait for that score, she can ask for "regular order", that is her job .

If it is Murkowski then she WANTS you to call her offices. She said so yesterday. She also wants people from out of state to call too. She wants Planned Parenthood in the Hellcare bill so mention that when you call! Her governor doesn't support it so that is good. The GOP is stealing billions from the blue states to buy votes in the red states and Alaska is being bribed with big bucks. I hope she stands by her convictions and doesn't turn traitor for money.
I have been calling so much I think all the GOP staffers know my voice (and sobbing) by now. I am exhausted and this is killing me mentally as well as physically and financially. I don't know how much more of this BS I can take and I know I am not alone, 32 million are facing the same living Hell everyday thanks to these greedy, evil bastards. Please call (202)224-3121 Thank you so much!
and apparently her conscience will then be clear. Of course she already knows they're lying to her, but this is her way of justifying her vote for the bill.
TOTAL BULLSHIT, of course, but that's what the GOP is so adept at. If it weren't for lying and bullshitting they wouldn't have anything to say at all.
