Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) has indicated that he will drop a proposal in the health reform bill to allow people ages 55-64 to buy into the Medicare program, according to a report by the Hill.
Sens. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.) and Ben Nelson (D-Neb.) said they would join Republicans in filibustering the reform bill if it included the buy-in, which would have replaced a proposed public health insurance option.
The Obama administration is pressuring Sen. Reid to produce a bill by the end of next week, but Sens. Lieberman and Nelson, whose votes are essential for passage, still haven’t committed to the bill.
