The public option lives.Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid D-Nev. announced Monday that the bill he will bring to the Senate floor will include a public health insurance option that individual states could decline to participate in.”I’ve concluded –with the support of the White House, Senators Dodd and Baucus — that the best way to move forward is to include a public option with the opt-out provision for states,” said Reid, referring to the Senate health and finance committee representatives, respectively, Sen. Chris Dodd D-Conn. and Sen. Max Baucus D-Mont.. “The public option, with an opt-out, is the one that’s fair.”
