Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid released a statement today following President Obama’s remarks on health care reform. Here’s the full statement:”

“The President spoke with great clarity to explain the steps that he has taken to build a bipartisan health reform proposal, the need for action and the path forward to make reform successful. He has taken good ideas from Democrats and Republicans to put together a plan that puts Nevadans back in control of their health care and removes obstacles that keep them from staying healthy. This is a bipartisan proposal and it deserves bipartisan support.

“Republicans have been included in this process, and now they have a responsibility to work with us to make reform succeed. Our desire to work together remains strong. But I also know that with each passing day, thousands of Nevadans are denied coverage when they really need it. For those Nevadans and millions more across America, inaction is not an option.

“The President and the American people have called on Congress to act now. We remain committed to this effort and we’ll use every option available to deliver meaningful reform this year.”
