Some Dem Senators not thrilled about Reid bill

The Harry Reid health care reform bill is not getting great reviews from some key Senate Democrats:

From a Senate Republican press release:

SEN. MARY LANDRIEU (D-LA): "My Vote Today To Move Forward On This Important Debate Should In No Way Be Construed By The Supporters Of This Current Framework As An Indication Of How I Might Vote As This Debate Comes To An End." (Sen. Landrieu, Floor Remarks, 11/21/09)

SEN. BLANCHE LINCOLN (D-AR): "I Am Opposed To A New Government-Administered Health Care Plan As A Part Of Comprehensive Health Insurance Reform, And I Will Not Vote In Favor Of The Proposal That Has Been Introduced By Leader Reid As It Is Written." (Sen. Lincoln, Floor Remarks, 11/21/09)

SEN. BEN NELSON (D-NE): “If That's Not Possible, I Will Oppose The Second Cloture Motion--Needing 60 Votes--To End Debate, And Oppose The Final Bill.” (Sen. Nelson, "Nelson: Nebraskans' Views Must Be Heard In Health Care Debate," Press Release, 11/20/09)

SEN. EVAN BAYH (D-IN): "At The End Of The Process, I'll Avoid The Washington Two-Step Of Voting To Go Forward But Then Voting Against The Final Bill … But This Is Just A Starting Point, So At This Point I Do Think There's A Difference." ("Bayh To Support First Procedural Vote On Healthcare" The Hill, 11/18/09)
