the last word. that honor goes to mike ross of arkansas. he joins us from little rock. for joining us. you are one of the conservative blue dog democrats. one of the things you've raised questions about is this so-called public option to compete with private insurance plans. the secretary of health kathleen sebelius was here earlier. she said the president will seek opposition and choice but not necessarily a robust public option. let's listen. >> i'm convinced at the end of the day the plan will have both of those, but that is not the essential element. >> not the essential element, a robust public option. i assume that is good news from a conservative democratic standpoint, but when you come back from washington, do you think you and the president can sell that to speaker pelosi and more liberal democrats? >> well, john, i think at the end of the day there is going to have some common ground here. the reality is it takes 60% to get this done in the senate. it's probably going to have to be bipartisan in the senate, which i think it should be, so i know a lot of member

in this statement, he's correct, because blue cross/blue shield controls three quarters of the market in arkansas and obama said a public option would keep the insurance companies honest. without the public option, what's the answer to this guy's question? >> well, there has to be some kind of cooperative, maybe what they call a souped up cooperative, one that can actually withstand pressure from insurance companies which in the past have taken something like blue cross, originally nonprofit and turned it into just another insurance company. the problem with the co-op idea is that they have been putty in the hands of the insurance company, but there still is room for compromise there. they could design a new kind of co-op that could provide some real competition. it could be essentially a public-private option that satisfies enough people to get something through. so i don't think liberals should go public option or bust. there are other alternatives and you have to remember that there are many, many important things in this bill that have become almost non-controversial that two years ago, if yo

that's the district that lies to the north of baton rouge, all the way to the arkansas line. i too am a co-sponsor of dr. fleming's legislation. but i personally believe that if any of these bills lying on the floor pass, that it really won't be relevant anyway because i think we'll all be under one plan. i think that's the motive is to put everybody under one plan. now, i think it's even more misleading to have leaders, especially the president during his campaign, he often said i want to make sure that everyone has access to the same type quality health care that members of congress have access to. well, i want to tell you, for my wife and i have been married 42 years. my wife is a school teacher for over 30 years i have been a member of the louisiana state group benefits health plan. still am today. so i don't have access to any more quality health care than the spouse of any other school teacher or state employee in the state of louisiana. the employees that we have have to pick and choose from a cafeteria of plans. some of the employee that is i have are covered by blue c

between senators, i think the problem for a lot of these senators is that people out in the heart land and in arkansasoncerns about the public option and about different aspects of this health care reform legislation. and until those questions are asked, i think the problem is going to be persist, despite the fact that they may attack senator kennedy's name to the legislation, and there may be these attempts to leverage this emotional time for the country. i just -- i am not convinced that that plays here. i see what's going on on the major networks, i see what's going on on the east coast. but i just don't think a lot of this plays where i live. >> jack rice, what democrat do you expect to step up and really lead on this? is it chris dodd? is it dick durbin? is it tom harkin? what do you think? >> i think it's probably going to be chris dodd, i look back at a conversation i had with him in iowa at that first caucus, and he's always been one of those right next to ted kennedy. but the real problem is i don't think the republicans have any interest at all in compromising. we can start with the stimulus
