Lieberman Announces Opposition to Health Care Bill With Government Plan
The announcement is a blow to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and signals that he does not yet have the votes to advance
the health care bill.
Independent Democratic Sen. Joe Lieberman said Tuesday that he would back a Republican filibuster against Senate Majority
Leader Harry Reid's health care reform bill if a government-backed insurance plan remains in the package.
The
announcement is a blow to the Democratic leader and signals that he does not yet have the votes to advance the bill. While
Reid needs just 51 votes to pass the package, he needs 60 votes to crush a filibuster.
