Susan Collins has been in Washington for almost three decades – and what does she have to show for it? Hospitals on the brink, health care under threat, and medical research frozen. While Collins attempts to walk the line, the truth is she’s backing brutal cuts that will devastate Mainers.
How Collins made things worse for Maine:
- $66 million lost every year for Maine hospitals, threatening critical services across the state.
- Nearly half of Maine’s rural hospitals are now at risk of closing their doors.
- A freeze on NIH grants is putting life-saving medical research and Maine’s biomedical economy in jeopardy.
What Collins voted for:
- Voted to advance the GOP’s Big Ugly Law, slashing health care and devastating rural hospitals.
- Voted against restoring NIH funding, including $323,000 to study rural health care in Maine.
“Susan Collins has spent nearly 30 years claiming to fight for Maine, but when it matters most, she falls in line with MAGA and enables them to execute their health care-killing agenda,” said American Bridge 21st Century spokesperson Nico Delgado. “Mainers are losing hospitals, health care, and research funding – and Collins is voting to make sure it stays that way. She owns these cuts.”
