Susan Collins said she could not back the "deeply flawed" bill, despite a call from President Donald Trump and promises of money for her state.
It was a major blow for the president and Republican leadership, who have made Obamacare's repeal a top priority.
Yeah, those amendments funneling extra money to those states who's Senators weren't on board were definitely going to be challenged, and I think would likely be found unconstitutional anyhow. There's precedent for that, but I forget which clause/amendment the precedent hinged on.

Lying fucks.
They only seem to care about deficits when they're not expanding the military or cutting taxes for the ultra rich.
They only care when there is a democrat in the white house.
They must have truly been shocked when Collins couldn't be bribed. Very unrepublicunt of her.
