Kathleen Sebelius, the Health and Human Services secretary, rejected
reports Thursday that President Obama has a so-called Plan B for
health-care reform.
"I don’t think there is a Plan B as far as I know, and I’m pretty
involved in all these conversations," Sebelius said in an interview
before the start of Obama's bipartisan health care summit. The
secretary was addressing reports Thursday morning that Obama, depending
on the summit outcome, is weighing alternative, more modest approaches
to reform.
"No doubt that along the way as every draft is put together there's
lots of different options," Sebelius said. "The president has made it
absolutely clear that he supports comprehensive reform, and he urges
the final step to be done in the House and the Senate, who have both
passed comprehensive reform bills. That’s what today’s meeting is
about. That’s what the future is about. I don’t think he’s interested
in what other issues are out there. He wants comprehensive reform that
deals with cost, deals with coverage, deals with changing the insurance
rules once and for all."
