Earlier today, Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) said that the Senate's health care reform bill will have a public option--but states will have the option to opt-out of a government-run plan. His Republican counterpart, Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY), released this statement:
While final details of this bill are still unknown, here's what we do know: It will be a thousand-page, trillion-dollar bill that raises premiums, raises taxes and slashes Medicare for our seniors to create new government spending programs. That's not reform. So, wholly aside from the debate over whether the government gets into the insurance business, the core of the proposal is a bill that the American public clearly does not like, and doesn't support.
