Senate Majority Leader Reid: Final Bill Will Have a Public Option

Nevada’s Review Journal is reporting that Senator Reid said that the Senate health care reform bill will have a public option:

“U.S. Sen. Harry Reid, D-Nev., said today there will be a “public option” in whatever health insurance reform bill comes out of Congress.

“We are going to have a public option before this bill goes to the president’s desk,” Reid said in a conference call with constituents, referring to some kind of government plan.”
