Rockefeller won't give Baucus a hand on his package
Rockefeller Announces He Will Not Support Baucus’ Health Care Bill
http://thinkprogress.org/2009/09/15/baucus-rockefeller/

This afternoon, on a conference call with reporters, Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D-WV), a member of the Senate Finance Committee, announced that he would not support Chairman Max Baucus’ (D-MT) health care framework in its current form:

The way it is right now, now we have an amendment process coming up next week. I’ll have many, many, many amendments and we will see what happens on that. But now, there is no way that I can vote for the Senate package. For a lot of reasons. Obviously the lack of a public option is one of them. So that I want to be very clear about.
