WASHINGTON, D.C. — Gov. Tim Pawlenty told ABC News today that if an “opt-out” public option were ultimately included in the health-care reform legislation, he would push Minnesota lawmakers to forego the government-run plan.
“I don’t know if we would opt out, but I personally would like to opt out because I don’t like government-run health care,” Pawlenty told ABC. “And we shouldn’t call it the public option; we should call it what it is, which is government-run health care. They are desperate — the Democrats are thrashing about trying to find some way to get government-run health care into the final package, to embed it in the final package.”
