After meeting Trump, Susan Collins hints at support for GOP tax cut plan
Source: Bangor Daily News
AUGUSTA, Maine — U.S. Sen. Susan Collins emerged from a meeting with President Donald Trump on Tuesday to tell reporters in Washington, D.C., that she’s leaning toward voting for fellow Senate Republicans’ proposal to overhaul the federal tax system.
The plan passed the Senate’s budget committee in a party-line vote on Tuesday and it will have to be reconciled with another plan in the House of Representatives before becoming law.
Collins’ support may hinge on a balancing act around health care policy. Her concerns have centered on the Senate tax bill’s repeal of the individual mandate — the part of the Affordable Care Act that makes people purchase health insurance or face a penalty. However, The Washington Examiner said on Tuesday that Trump promised to back bills stabilizing the health care law if the tax bill passes.
One would be a Collins-sponsored bill to give $2.25 billion annually to states with high-risk pools or reinsurance programs. The other would be a bill backed by Sens. Lamar Alexander, R-Tennessee, and Patty Murray, D-Washington, to reinstate cost-sharing reduction payments halted by Trump’s administration in October.
