GOP's Steele calls co-ops 'backdoor' to public option
GOP's Steele calls co-ops 'backdoor' to public option

WASHINGTON (AP) - Republican Party Chairman Michael Steele says he fears the health insurance cooperatives envisioned in the bill the Senate Finance Committee is promoting amounts to a "back door to a public option."
Interviewed Thursday on CBS's "The Early Show," Steele also said he doubts Republicans will embrace the legislation produced by committee Chairman Max Baucus and the "Gang of Six," - Baucus, two other Democrats and three Republicans.
Steele said he believes that the "co-ops in this bill represent government control. The government is financing these co-ops. We need to watch this very carefully." Steele also repeated an earlier assertion in which he disagreed with former President Jimmy Carter that racism has played a role in the at-times bitter opposition to President Barack Obama's health care overhaul plans.
