Statement of U.S. Senator Russ Feingold on the Senate Finance Committee Passing Health Care Reform Legislation

Tuesday, October 13, 2009

“While I commend the hard work of the Senate Finance Committee in passing health care reform legislation, we still have a long way to go to strengthen this proposal.  I am working with my colleagues to ensure that health care legislation considered by the full Senate includes a public health insurance option and other provisions to guarantee all Americans affordable, high-quality health care.”
