As  a constituent not happy with Lisa's position, and one also barely hanging onto the $1950/month health insurance policy that we pay out of pocket, I certainly do not feel like one of those Alaskans Lisa is "protecting".  I suspect she's playing her cards to the growing entitlement base she hopes will re-elect her?  With that said, I see nothing in this article stating the "threat" the title clearly states.  All appears to be a bit of more engineered news and an "alluding to" intended to appeal to the emotions of the reader.
