I had to look on balance, because the people in my state are the ones that I put first.
[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.
It is the people of Alaska that I worry about the most, especially when it comes to the potential loss of social safety net programs—Medicaid coverage and SNAP benefits—that our most vulnerable populations rely on.
I don’t actually want the version of the bill I voted for to become law, and I hope that the House undoes some of the damage in the bill that I and my fellow senators did.
