…but not a good bill.
Dear Editor,
In their desire to pass anything. Any speck of legislation regarding medical coverage. The sheer act of "doing something" has led the Republicans to play favorites among the 50 States. In their effort to pin a star on their chests, Republicans are offering concessions to Alaska that other States will not have access to in an effort to win Sen. Lisa Murkowski's vote.
They want to add exemptions for Alaska in order to get her to support their last-ditch bill to overhaul the American health-care system. The plan is to keep in place some Affordable Care Act provisions in Alaska that the bill would scrap in nearly all other states.
The mere fact that this would "need" to happen should indicate what a flawed piece of legislation this is.
Personally, as someone with a P.E.C., there would be an option to receive coverage, I just won't be able to afford it.
I'd move to Alaska, but I'm too old for the cold.
Sincerely,
Scott R. Blume,
