The Political Elite

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.”
