Indiana Legislators Remain Undecided

Maureen Groppe writes in Monday's Journal and Courier that all of Indiana's Democratic delegation, with one exception, have remained publicly undecided about health care reform. Only Andre Carson has voiced his support for a public option. Groppe says the representatives will take into consideration what they heard in town halls in their home districts during recess:

Those sentiments include admonitions to make sure a final health care bill doesn't add to the deficit, slows the growth in health care spending, and doesn't try to do too much, too quickly. That may mean scaling back the proposals to get something passed.

A scaled back plan? Groppe quotes Senator Bayh on the possibility: "If you can't get 100 percent, 80 percent is still pretty doggone good. And it's certainly better than zero."
