Feingold On Baucus Bill: 'I Am Disappointed'

Sen. Russ Feingold (D-WI) released a statement today on the health care reform proposal released by Senate Finance Committee chairman Max Baucus (D-MT):

"My goals for health care reform include a strong public option, long-term care reform and reform of the Medicare reimbursement system that has disadvantaged Wisconsin for far too long. I am disappointed that the Finance Committee bill, as written, comes up short on all three fronts. I hope my colleagues on the Finance Committee will change the bill to ensure it is not just health care reform in name only."
