Sen. Joe Lieberman’s (I-CT) office is shooting down a report in The Hill that Lieberman has reached an understanding with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid to not block health care reform.
Lieberman spokesman Marshall Wittman told National Review: “Senator Lieberman’s clear position is that he will vote for the motion to proceed to the health-care bill because he supports health-care reform that will control costs and insure people who don’t have it now, but will oppose cloture on a final bill if it contains a public option.”
We telephoned Lieberman’s office for further comment, and they referred us back to the National Review post. Reid’s office has not returned our request for comment at this time.
