Senate Finance Committee rejects public option aka government run healthcare

Sorry liberal leeches. The Senate Finance Committee has voted against the creation of a new government-run health insurance plan. 5 Democrat senators joined Republicans in voting against the public option, including senators Baucus, Lincoln, Conrad, Bill Nelson and Thomas Carper. More from the Wall Street Journal:


By a 15-8 vote, the committee rejected an amendment sponsored by Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D., W.Va.), that would create a public health-insurance option. Under Mr. Rockefeller’s amendment, a government-run plan would inherit Medicare’s network of doctors and hospitals and pay them based on Medicare payment rates for its first two years.

All Republicans on the panel voted against Mr. Rockefeller’s amendment, in addition to five Democrats: Senate Finance Chairman Max Baucus of Montana, Bill Nelson of Florida, Kent Conrad of North Dakota, Blanche Lincoln of Arkansas and Thomas Carper of Delaware.
