Boxer Talks Up "Public Interest Option"
AP: Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) said that a "public interest option" would emerge from the Senate's efforts to reform healthcare — a potential shift from Boxer's support for the public option.
"I do think we'll have a public interest option at the end of the day, because we have to contain the cost," she said during an interview on MSNBC. The Senate Finance Committee has reportedly taken a public option, which Republicans call a "government-run plan," off the table in their quest to craft a bill which will gain bipartisan support.
