More from Lisa Murkowski
[L]et’s not kid ourselves. ... While we have worked to improve the present bill for Alaska, it is not good enough for the rest of our nation — and we all know it.
The decision process, Murkowski told reporters after the vote, had been “agonizing,” and she “struggled mightily with the impact on the most vulnerable in this country, when you look to Medicaid and SNAP.”
My hope is that House is going to look at this and recognize that we’re not there yet.
I have made clear very early on that we cannot move forward with a bill that makes cuts to Medicaid.
