Reid: I Can Count Number Of Moderate Republicans On Two Fingers
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) announced Monday that the public option, saddled with a provision that will allow states to individually opt-out, will be included in the final draft of the Senate’s health care reform legislation.
Reid responded to the lack of bipartisan support for the bill, lamenting that there were so few moderate Republicans in the Senate.
The Majority Leader quipped that he could count all of his moderate Republican colleagues on two fingers. (0:17)
