Collins Joins Dems In Voting For Insurance Company Amendment

Maine Republican Sen. Susan Collins disappointed Republicans again this week.

Advertisement Collins broke ranks and voted in favor of a Democratic-backed motion to send the Senate’s $70 billion budget reconciliation package back to committee for further review.

The procedural motion, offered by Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-Ga. ), sought to recommit the legislation to the Senate Judiciary Committee to investigate allegations that insurance companies have improperly denied medical treatment and coverage to patients.
