WASHINGTON – Senate Democrats say Majority Leader Harry Reid intends to include an option for government-run insurance coverage in health care legislation headed for the floor, with an announcement set for later in the day.
Reid signaled his support for a so-called public option last week, but has yet to discuss his plans in public.
Democratic officials spoke on condition of anonymity since the announcement has not been made yet.
Reid is expected to discuss the emerging legislation on Tuesday with members of his party's rank and file.
