Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) has "reservations" about privatizing Medicare, she told the Portland Press Herald.
“Suffice it to say I have a number of reservations,” Collins told the newspaper. “A complete upending of a program (Medicare) that by and large serves seniors well is not something that appeals to me.”
Assuming Republicans hold the Senate seat in Louisiana in next week's runoff, Republicans only have 52 votes. The GOP can only afford to lose three members or they cannot repeal Obamacare or block grant Medicare and Medicaid at all.

Just a reminder to my Republican friends here at tPF that things aren't as rosy as they might seem for your attempts to establish death panels for the elderly in this country.
