Brian Duff, Ph.D., associate professor and chair in the Department of Political Science, was quoted in a March 16 Portland Press Herald article about Senator Susan Collinsā€™ recent statement that she does not support the House Republican health care bill that is being debated in Congress as a replacement to the Affordable Care Act.

According to the article, Collins has publicly stated that the bill, as it is currently proposed, would be detrimental to low-income seniors.

Duff said that it was time for Collins to speak out against the proposed bill. ā€œBeing vague was not winning her any points,ā€ he said. ā€œI know she was getting a ton of calls. It was time for her to cut ties and disassociate herself with a bill that was so unpopular.ā€
