You mean, some of them are wary of a plan which consists of "let's shift things to the states, so then the feds can cut the funding, and claim it's not the fed's fault.  (And we're already budgeting to cut the funding, so we can justify the tax cuts, which Washington will take credit for)."?  

 

I guess some of them are capable of learning.

So..  Burgeoning costs of health care for a MASSIVE population of senior citizens is alleviated by starving them and depriving them of affordable healthcare.

 

Who was it trying to kill Gramma again?

While the amendment stands a good chance of passing the House, it may not comply with the Senate’s strict rules and its ultimate fate is in the hands of the parliamentarian, who Collins met with last week to plead his case.

 

The Republican repeal and replace plan has been crafted to pass under the Senate’s expedited budget process so it only requires 51 votes. That means all parts have to comply with the Senate’s Byrd rules, which require provisions to have a direct impact on the federal budget.

 

The Collins amendment, if it has its intended effect, would require money be moved around within a state, which may trigger a problem.

 

The argument in favor of letting the amendment into the final Senate bill is that if states do not comply with the law they lose their federal match, which would impact the federal budget. What remains to be seen is if the Senate parliamentarian buys that logic.

 

Either way, the possibility has caused a heated exchange between Collins and the Cuomo administration. Lt. Gov. Kathy Hochul said the proposal would “wreak havoc on the state.”
