"I am a pretty firm no," said 7th District U.S. Rep. Collin Peterson, D-Minn., said about the latest health care reform bill. "I wish people would quit asking about the public option because it's not what the issue is. This is complete ideology run amuck. The issue is we are not reforming Medicare. We are adding more entitlements without being able to pay for the entitlements we have now."
On the Medicare-payment reform studies in the House bill, Peterson added, "There are not reforms there, it's a study."
"I mean. I have so many problems with this bill I don't even know where to start - too much government bureaucracy, not making the reforms that we need to make in the health care system overall.
"I don't think there's any way that I could support what they're doing unless they start over. That's how bad it is."
