I just love hearing good news
Moderate Democrats, backed by the GOP, launched a rebellion Tuesday against Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s plan to write a government-run insurance program into the Senate healthcare bill. The uprising, less than a day after Reid revealed his plan, threatens President Obama’s plans to stave off a filibuster with 60 votes in the Senate.
Sen. Joe Lieberman says he will back a GOP filibuster of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s healthcare reform bill because of its inclusion of a “public option” — a devastating blow to the Obama administration’s hopes of unified Democratic support for a healthcare bill with a government-run insurance program
The Connecticut Democrat, who is positioning himself as a fiscal hawk on the issue, told Politico he opposes any healthcare bill that includes the public option — even if it includes a provision allowing states to opt out of the program, as Reid’s has said the Senate bill will.
