Collins pushing health bill that would hurt many

Maine Beacon -Maine Sen. Susan Collins has advanced a new bill that she says will finally make the changes necessary to stabilize insurance markets disrupted by the repeal of parts of the Affordable Care Act. However the bill contains a number of “poison pills,” according to health care advocates, including provisions that would effectively eliminate abortion coverage for individual plans, reduce subsidies for low-income people, and increase the number of uninsured Americans.
