This is part of the form letter I got back from Lieberman:
I will continue to work with my colleagues on a bipartisan basis to resolve the remaining issues that are key to reaching a comprehensive final proposal. A broad coalition is needed when addressing an issue as large, and as important for our nation's citizens, as health care reform. While, in general, I would prefer not to see a public plan option because of cost concerns and the possibility that it could potentially prevent the formation of the coalition that will be necessary to pass reform, I am very open to all options that have been laid on the table. I am hopeful that my colleagues on both sides of the aisle will come together to achieve meaningful health care reform that expands coverage, reduces costs, and improves the quality of care in our nation.
That's just the bit about the public option, since that's what I'm most concerned with. It sounds like he's willing to change his mind and support the public option if it will get him re-elected! Ha. That's Lieberman for you, I guess. Always worried about his own ass.
