| Following his vote in the Senate Finance Committee yesterday that passed out the Baucus Healthcare bill 14-9, Senator Menendez and Senator Shumer appeared on the Ed show on MSNBC to talk about what' next. Menendez's exchange is toward the end of the segment:Before having Menendez on, Ed was very critical of the baucus bill and how it was the most conservative of all the bills out there. Menendez said he is more confident they will get healthcare reform and that a 'No" vote on the bill was a vote for the status quo. A 'Yes' vote was about changing that reality and ticked off some of the things the bill would do including pursuing the public option. On the public option, Ed asks if Olympia Snowe was providing cover for those that oppose the public option. Menendez said there are more than enough significant members including half of their caucus in support and they will see a public option at the end of the day. He said he is convinced that they will get a public option in the bill that they can all be proud of and will help save the system. |
