"Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is feeling the heat from his liberal colleagues to include a government-run health insurance plan, or "public option," in the Senate health care bill.
Now, as Reid and other negotiators move closer to unveiling their health care plan, liberal advocacy groups are ratcheting up the pressure, saying they will run Reid out of Washington if he does not bring a public option to the Senate floor."
I personally think that we will be getting a public option, or Medicare for everyone. It's too important and without it even bring up health care reform would have been for nothing. No one is that stupid, lest of all Obama. But Harry Reid really does need to watch his political back here. He has really angered a lot of progressives with is handling of this issues and many others. He may be a good legislator but he repeatedly fails as a leader of the Senate.
