Whether it is because of next year's election he is facing pressure on, or whether Ted Kennedy's passing lead to this,
pretty strong words right here from Harry Reid, of all people.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is often hesitant during the health care debate in Washington to express his personal views, but he let down his guard a bit this week in Nevada.
Reid opened a private meeting of health care providers in Las Vegas on Tuesday by saying, according to one attendee who took notes: “We have a problem in America and it’s called the private insurance industry.”
Reid went on to express support for a public option, the proposed government-run insurance plan that he compared to Medicare, saying any meaningful reform legislation would have to include a public component.
Who knew he had it in him.....outside of election pressure and base pressure probably causing a strong statement from him.
