Hopefully, that will be enough for them. I'm still shocked that McConnell was able to get Collins and Murkowski to agree with repealing the Individual Mandate, as they also refused to vote for the "Skinny Repeal". Of course, what McConnell "promised" Collins for her vote doesn't seem like it's going to happen either but apparently she was satisfied enough with his promise....for some reason.
