Mike Ross may be for a public option after all. Today, The Hill quotes the Arkansas congressman as saying the following,
I — speaking only on behalf of myself — suggested one possible idea could be that instead of creating an entirely new government bureaucracy to administer a public option, Medicare could be offered as a choice.
Or maybe not. Mr. Ross went on to say that he does not “endorse” this idea, but that it is one of many ideas being discussed among legislators.
