All eyes on a possible second Republican senator who may cast her vote in support of President Obama's healthcare plan. Susan Collins joined fellow moderate Republican senator Olympia Snowe, in endorsing the goal of far-reaching changes in the US health care system. Collins said, "My hope is that we can fix the flaws in the bill and come together with a truly bipartisan bill that could garner widespread support."
The bill will be melded with a Senate Health Committee version before being debated in the full 100-member Senate, where Democrats will need all of their 60 votes to prevent a Republican filibuster.
