Public Option for Health Care Bill Rejected by Senate Panel
Options to include a government-run public health care amendment in the most recent health care reform bill were rejected by all 10 Republicans on the committee and a few democrats, including Max Baucus of Montana.
The White House responded to Tuesday’s actions with spokesman Reid Cherlin repeating both President Barack Obama’s support for a public option — and also his willingness to consider other proposals.
Obama “has said he is open to other constructive ideas of increasing choice and competition,” Cherlin said. “He will work with Congress to ensure that under health insurance reform, Americans who cannot find affordable coverage will always have a choice.”
Republicans unanimously oppose the government-run insurance option, saying it would drive private insurers from the market and eventually bring a government takeover of the health care system.
Democratic leaders reject that claim, saying the public option would provide needed competition for private insurers while making health coverage accessible to millions of people currently lacking health insurance.
