1:44Now PlayingSenate Majority Leader Harry Reid was joined today by Senate Committee Chairmen to discuss the public option with a state opt-out provision to be included in a Senate health care bill. Senators Dodd, Baucus, Bingaman and Rockefeller agreed that Congress stands on the doorstep of achieving meaningful health insurance legislation. "We're all committed to delivering meaningful reform to a system that's really broken," said Reid. "We all support the public option with a state opt-out as a wise path forward. Our public option isn't a left proposal or a right proposal. This is a consensus, a compromise that represents months of hard work and debate and will benefit all Americans. It's an important way to ensure competition, to level the playing field for patients. It protects consumers and keeps the insurance companies honest."
