The 3 Republicans Who Doomed a Senate Repeal of the Health Law
Keywords:
Tags:
This story by Emmarie Huetteman describes the effort of three Republican women in the U.S. Senate who had the courage to listen to the different voices in their home state and use their informed judgement in deciding how to vote on a Republican healthcare bill or Affordable Care Act repeal effort. Especially when they heard that it would hurt people in their state, the elderly, low income and other vulnerable people without offering alternatives. Even when this meant resisting pressure from fellow Republicans. The senators are Capito of West Virginia, Collins of Maine, and Murkowski of Alaska. This is particularly significant at a time when too much polarization has led to paralysis in coming up with informed discussion and good solutions to problems. It is also significant that senators from the midwestern states such as Iowa- Mr Grassley, and Kansas- Mr. Moran, also joined the effort to listen first to people back home in their districts before making up their mind.
How the effort to repeal the Affordable Care Act or pass a Republican healthcare bill failed in the U.S. Senate in mid July 2017
07/19/2017
This is the story of how Senators Collins of Maine, Moran of Kansas, and other Senators Grassley of Iowa, Paul of Kentucky decided to go their own way in mid July 2017. Leading to the collapse of efforts to pass a Republican healthcare bill that slashed Medicaid spending and allowed premiums to rise for the elderly, all without public discussion and debate or any discussion in committees to hear different views.

Both plans take different approaches based on the groups the politicians serve. Neither plan tackles squarely the root problem of health care costs that makes it hard to bring health care to all Americans, leaving politicians with setting priorities of serving the middle class or the poor based on their viewpoints. Without a change in culture in America similar to that in Europe and Japan on health care as something all should have and a culture of pricing that matches this and makes it possible to do so, the problem remains untackled.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
