Sen. Jeff Bingaman has said all along during the health care reform debate that he supports a public option. But when it comes down to it, he'd also vote for a bill without it, if it was between that and no reform.
"I support a public option, but I'm not one who, like some members of Congress, have said they would not support a bill that did not include a public option," Bingaman said during an interview at a town hall in Albuquerque Monday.
"I think that would not make good sense, assuming a bill includes the other things we are talking about — insurance market reforms, expansion of coverage, establishment of state exchanges, larger pooling for purposes of setting insurance rates, Medicare payment reforms."
