Rep.
James Clyburn of South Carolina, the No. 3 Democrat in the House and
one who had appealed to President Obama, said he could vote for a final
bill that does not embrace a 'public' plan.
WASHINGTON -- Two House Democrats who favor a government insurance
plan, a central element of health care legislation passed in their
chamber, acknowledged Sunday it might have to be sacrificed as
negotiators work out a final agreement with the Senate.
Rep. James Clyburn of South Carolina, the No. 3 Democrat in the
House and one who had appealed to President Barack Obama not to yield
on the so-called public plan, set out conditions for yielding himself.
Asked during rounds on the Sunday news shows whether he could vote
for a final bill that does not embrace a public plan, Clyburn said:
"Yes, sir, I can."
