Senate Panel Rejects Divisive 'Public Option'

Source: NPR

The Senate Finance Committee on Tuesday voted down an attempt by liberal Democrats to include a government-run insurance option as part of its legislation overhauling the nation's health care system.

The 15-to-8 vote was a defeat for liberals who view government-sponsored insurance as a key component of President Obama's health care proposal.

"My job is to put together a bill that gets to 60 votes" in the full Senate, committee Chairman Max Baucus (D-MT) said before voting against the amendment by Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D-WV). "No one shows me how to get to 60 votes with a public option."

1. It was so "divisive" that over 65% of the country was for it. 

Sigh.

15. Baucus, Lincoln, Conrad, Nelson and Carper.

Five Democrats opposed the public option: Committee Chairman Max Baucus (D-Mont.), Blanche Lincoln (D-Ark.), Kent Conrad (D-N.D.), Bill Nelson (D-Fla.) and Tom Carper (D-Del.).

Hurray for Max, Blanche, Kent, Bill, and Tom.

Suck on it, primitives.

61% was for it when it was being called "Healthcare Reform"
