I read this article this afternoon, and I could guess the answer to one of the people mentioned:
The one US Senator who would be the most dithering would be: Susan Collins

| Susan Collins (R-Maine) |
She is the most liberal Republican in the United States. She has even toyed with the idea of going past repeal of Obamacare, like there is no hope of return.
That is all wrong! That is an outrageous stance. She should recall that the Governor of Maine, Paul LePage, has rejected the medicaid expansion, and refuses to induce more government dependence and poverty on Mainers. Men and women can thrive and grow, and they can rest assured that their medical needs can be met in a freer, more equitable insurance/marketplace system.
More liberty, more accountability, and more transparency is the key.
It's time to give Senator Collins a call, and reminder her that she works for We the People:

The next two names listed baffled me:
Rand Paul (R-KY)
Really:
At least three Republican senators – Susan Collins of Maine, Rand Paul
of Kentucky and Bill Cassidy of Louisiana – have signaled to their leaders that
it would be a big mistake to plunge ahead with repealing Obamacare without a
replacement plan waiting in the wings, as the Morning Consult reported today.
Oh brother!
The US Senate and the House can repeal and replace all at the same time!
About Rand Paul's jitters:
Paul warned in an op-ed in Rare that unless they moved
quickly to replace Obamacare with a fully-developed plan that works, the
Republicans could end up being blamed for the continued deterioration of the
program.
This stance is the wrong approach entirely. The law is bad from top to bottom, and the pain will linger far longer if nothing is done. Obamacare is already failing consumers and families. The full repeal won't do nearly the damage that the law while in place already has.
What is with Senator Paul? Honestly, is he concerned about the Kentucky residents who have gone onto Ky-nect, the Bluegrass State's Obamacare health exchange? This is crass.
He needs to get off his a— and make Obamacare go away!

The third US Senator to express reluctance to repeal all the way right away?
Bill Cassidy of Louisiana:
Cassidy on Tuesday tweeted that “Many are worried about
losing insurance coverage.”
Get your plan together and repeal!

There is no time to deal. There should be no subsidies from taxpayers for those who refuse to work.
How about making it easier for charity hospitals to open up and raise money?
How about initiating reforms which will allow those who are on Obamacare now to transfer their funds into a Health Savings Account?
The American people want Obamacare repealed. There should be no delay whatsoever.
None. This terrible program cannot be gone faster.
Republicans need to chop away at this gargantuan fraud and not think twice. Medical care has become elusive and expensive because of the government intervention into the program.
It's time for a phase-out. No more bailouts, no more sellouts!
By the way … the ball is already rolling!
