Harry Reid Announces Plan For Public Option With Opt-Out Provision

The public option has probably received more attention than any other aspect of health care reform even though it will only affect a minority of people who are eligible to select it. Harry Reid announced today the Senate bill will include a public option with an opt-out provision for states.

The public option would be a government-run health insurance plan similar to the Medicare program except that it would be paid out of premiums from those who choose the plan. Different proposalsSource: Liberal Values RSS Feed
