Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, is one of four GOP senators who oppose the American Health Care Act in its current form, but she said on Sunday if the bill is amended to meet her standards, she will support the Obamacare replacement plan.
“We have to deal with three issues. The first is coverage. Under the House bill, 14 million Americans would lose coverage next year — that rises to 24 million over the next decade,” Collins told NBC “Meet the Press” host Chuck Todd on Sunday morning. Last week, House Majority Whip Steve Scalise said the Congressional Budget Office’s calculations of how many Americans would lose healthcare coverage has been misinterpreted by the media, suggesting the CBO was overestimating the number of people who would choose to get off Obamacare.
