Evan Bayh "Agnostic" On Public Health Care

On Fox News Sunday this morning, Sen. Tom Coburn (R-OK) trashed the idea of including a new public health insurance plan as part of health care reform, saying "that is exactly the opposite way" to improve health care in America. "We don't need more money," said Coburn. "What we need is true markets that will allocate this resource and create a way for everyone to have access."

Host Chris Wallace then asked Sen. Evan Bayh (D-IN) about "private sector" concerns that a public option would mean "that everybody will end up in the government program." Bayh replied that he was "agnostic" about including a public plan in reform.
