Rep. Lloyd Doggett (D-TX) issued the following statement around 11:20 a.m. Wednesday regarding Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus’ draft health care reform bill. Here’s the full text:
“Seldom have so many waited so long for so little. This isn’t negotiation; it is capitulation to the insurance industry.
To those who keep declaring a voluntary Medicare-type public option dead on arrival, I say today’s proposal represents no option whatsoever for the genuine health insurance reform that President Obama promised last year and that Americans deserve.”
