Centrists such as Sen. Joe Lieberman, I-Conn., have suggested that they may not support reform with a public option. &#8220;Senate Democratic Conference Vice Chairman Charles Schumer (N.Y.) said Wednesday that moderates are likely to climb on board once they read the final bill&#8221; (Drucker, 10\/28). <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.abcnews.com\/theworldnewser\/2009\/10\/say-it-aint-so-joe-lieberman.html\">ABC News<\/a>: &#8220;When majority leader [Harry] Reid put the controversial &#8216;public option&#8217; back on the table this week, he did so confident that Lieberman, short of outright supporting it, would at least allow it to pass. [But] Lieberman dropped a bombshell when [he] announced he would not vote&#8221; to move forward on a health reform bill that includes a government-run health plan (Schutzman, 10\/28). <\/p>\n<p>\n      <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/blogs\/2009\/10\/28\/politics\/politicalhotsheet\/entry5437618.shtml\">CBS News<\/a>: Meanwhile, &#8220;Sen. Evan Bayh, a moderate Democrat from Indiana, said Wednesday that he may not be able to support a motion to proceed with the health care debate on the Senate floor, depending on what is included in the bill Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) brings forward.&#8221; Bayh said he was &#8220;less focused&#8221; on the public option, but was worried &#8220;a couple elements&#8221; in the bill could raise premiums for families with insurance (Condon, 10\/28). <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.chicagotribune.com\/health\/chi-tc-nw-burris-healthoct29,0,7796746.story?track=rss\">Chicago Tribune<\/a>: Democratic leaders are also creating some friction on the left. The White House recently dispatched health care adviser Nancy-Ann DeParle to meet with Sen. Roland Burris of Illinois. &#8220;It signals that the White House is not taking for granted the support of Burris&#8221; for the health-reform bill. He has called for an even broader government-run plan than Senate Democratic leaders offered (Skiba, 10\/29). <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/khn\/fulltext\/~4\/TiCiF4l0TrM\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Democratic Senators in favor of including a public insurance option in health care reform expect resistant moderates \u2026 to come around once they see the details of the final legislation,&#8221; Roll Call reports.
