2 GOP Senators Postpone Obamacare-Stabilizing Bills Until New Year

Republican Sens. Lamar Alexander and Susan Collins are delaying their effort to pass two bills aimed at stabilizing Obamacare insurance markets, they announced on Wednesday. The senators originally promised to include the measures in a year-end spending bill. However, because Congress is only working to pass a short-term extension of federal government funding this week, Collins and Alexander say they will include the bills in an omnibus bill in January.
