Sens. Susan Collins (R-Main) and Josh Hawley (R-Mo.), Two important holdingouts, said on Saturday that they would vote to drive the version of the “Great, beautiful law on President Trump” by the Senate Text revealed by GOP managers on Friday.
Collins said that she would vote for the application to exceed the legislation from considering the majority leader of the Senate, John Thune (Rs.d.), but warned that she still has significant concerns about legislation and will propose several changes to change it.
“I plan to call for the application. In general, I sound the powers of the majority leader to bring invoices to the Senate. I in no way predict how I will vote on the final passage,” she said.
“This will depend on whether the invoice is essentially changed,” she said. “There are some very good changes made in the latest version, but I would like to see further changes and I will submit a number of changes.”
Collins agree to the procedural application. Two conservative, Sens. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) And Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) Say that they will not vote for the legislation as it is now.
And Senator Thom Tillis (Rn.C.) On Saturday he would choose “No” for the application for leadership and the final passage.
The Republicans of the Senate check 53 seats and can only afford three defects in their caucus and still adopt the legislative template.
But Thune achieved another great victory when Hawley, who sounded the alarm for hundreds of billions of dollars of the federal government, said reporters said that he would vote for the application to continue the legislation and also support the final passage of the 940-page version of the legislation on Friday evening.
Hawley said that changes to legislation will lead to a much more Federal Medicaid financing for Missouri over the next four years.
He also quoted 1 billion US dollars of funds for Missourians, which suffered from radiation exposure in connection with the development of nuclear weapons in the 1940s during the Manhattan project as reasons for his yes.
“With the delay of the provider tax framework that we could receive, Missouri’s Medicaid dollars will actually increase in the next four years,” he said.
“We will get more money, Medicaid Finance through the baseline by 2030. All changes to our provider framework in Missouri will only take place in the next decade,” he said.
He found that the GOP leaders agreed to enhance a rural hospital from $ 15 billion to $ 25 billion and changed the financing formula to provide their home state more federal funds.
He also said that the financing of the radiation exposure law he requested was “completely and fully intact”.
“This will mean that large new dollars that flow into the state of Missouri will be expanded in Missouri’s health care. On this basis, I will vote on this legal template,” he said.
If the application for a straightforward majority threshold eliminates, the chamber would discuss the draft law before switching to a “voice-rama”, in which unlimited changes can be brought to the ground before a final vote.
