MPR News: Sen. Franken optmistic about progress on health care reform
Posted in News Clips on December 10th, 2009St. Paul, Minn. — DFL U.S. Senator Al Franken says he “feels very good” about the progress of health care reform in the Senate.
Franken said he still favors a government-run health insurance plan known as a “public option” as part of a health care overhaul, but he says a compromise being discussed in the Senate sets up government-negotiated non-profit health plans that would compete with plans from insurance companies.
