Susan Collins: States that Like ObamaCare Can Keep It Under Our Plan

‘We recognize that there’s some states where ObamaCare may be the right answer for the citizens’

RUSH EXCERPT:
COLLINS: "That is part of it. And that is a unique part of our bill. What we’re trying to do is actually achieve a solution. If you look at the ObamaCare exchanges across the country, a lot of them are in a death spiral. We’ve seen double digit, even triple digit increases in premiums, co-pays, deductibles, insurers fleeing the market. And we’re going to have to do something regardless. But we recognize that there’s some states where ObamaCare may be the right answer for the citizens. So why not allow those states to keep it, if they like it, and then we proposed an alternative which we believe is a better choice for most states."
