- Sens. Susan Collins of Maine, Shelley Moore Capito of West Virginia and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska all said they will even vote against debate on the plan, saying doing so would create chaos in the insurance marketplace.

Republicans, how can you NOT have a signed TrumpCare bill after 8 years and controlling the White House, Congress and Senate?
