Reid Tells Baucus to Stop Chasing Republican Votes

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) on "strongly urged" Finance Chairman Max Baucus (D-MT) "to drop a proposal to tax health benefits and stop chasing Republican votes on a massive health care reform bill," Roll Call reports.

Reid "told Baucus that taxing health benefits and failing to include a strong government-run insurance option of some sort in his bill would cost 10 to 15 Democratic votes; Reid told Baucus that several in the Conference had serious concerns and that it wasn't worth securing the support of Grassley and at best a few additional Republicans."

It's a miracle to see Reid get some spine. I wonder how much the surgery cost. Oh, that's right, he HAS health insurance!
