Reid Repeats Call For Health Reform, Says GOP Has No Plan
By Marianna Levyash – Talk Radio News Service
At a Senate Leadership conference Thursday, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) said that something has to be done about reforming the nation’s healthcare system.
“What we are trying to do is preserve a good healthcare option,” said Reid, who generally favors having a public option be an element of reform.
Reid stated that members of the GOP have not presented any type of reform plan to the American public.
“Republicans don’t have a plan…they want to keep things the way they are,” he said.
