Two Democratic senators on Wednesday reintroduced a plan for creating a public option for health care in the U.S.
Sens. Michael Bennet of Colorado and Tim Kaine of Virginia propose to create a government-operated health care plan that would compete with privately run plans sold through the federal insurance marketplaces.
Kaine said he would push to advance the proposal, called the Medicare-X Choice Act, through the reconciliation process, which would allow Democrats to pass the bill with a simple majority of votes in the Senate. Assuming no Republicans support the legislation, reconciliation would require all 50 Democratic senators to get behind the bill, which its backers say is a real possibility, given that it is close to what President Biden ran on last fall.
