Is this new “Public Option Talk” real? or is it all B.S so Harry Reid can get votes and then bait and switch with the loser talk again , once he gets elected?
Reid has always been a proponent of the provision. But he has deflected questions about using reconciliation to get it into law citing a potential lack of votes needed for passage.
i’ll support it if it has the votes - Harry Reid
“Senator Reid has always and continues to support the public option as a way to drive down costs and create competition,” said Reid aide Rodell Mollineau in a statement provided to the Huffington Post. “That is why he included the measure in his original health care proposal. If a decision is made to use reconciliation to advance health care, Senator Reid will work with the White House, the House, and members of his caucus in an effort to craft a public option that can overcome procedural obstacles and secure enough votes.”
