3 GOP senators break with leaders over addressing insurance companies' denial of medical care

(The Hill) Three Republican senators broke with the rest of the Senate GOP conference Wednesday night to vote in support of an amendment sponsored by Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-Ga.) to address insurance companies delaying or denying necessary medical care.

Vulnerable Sens. Susan Collins (R-Maine) and Dan Sullivan (R-Alaska) joined conservative Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) in voting with Democrats to support the amendment to create a point of order against a budget reconciliation bill that fails to address insurance companies’ delay or denial of medical care.

Ossoff moved to waive the applicable sections of the 1974 Budget Act to strike down the point-of-order objection but it fell 11 votes short of success. He needed 60 votes to waive the budget rules.
