Bob McDonnell weighed in on a health care public option in an interview on Fox this afternoon. The issue, front and center in the national debate, made its way into the Virginia gubernatorial contest this week after Democratic nominee Creigh Deeds said he’d consider opting Virginia out of a public plan if a federal health care bill allows it.
In an appearance on Fox News this afternoon, McDonnell suggested he’d do the same thing. “Turning over the best doctors, the best hospitals, the best pharmaceutical research and development system to the federal government for a co-op or a public option is [an idea] I don’t hear Virginians very excited about,” he said.
