Bi-partisan Opposition to a Government-run Plan

Senator Joe Lieberman (I-CT)
“I don’t favor a public option, and I don’t favor a public option because I think there’s plenty of competition in the private insurance market.

Former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney
“We have competition in the health insurance market. There are hundreds of health insurance companies that all compete with each other. We don’t need to have the government get in and create a health insurance company in order to have competition.”
Senator Mary Landrieu (D-LA)
“A public option is not something I support. I don’t think it’s the right way to go.”
