DFL Sen. Al Franken talked about the health care overhaul bill on Morning Edition this morning. He said he's continuing to fight to keep the public option in the bill and won't put a deadline on when it will pass. Franken also said he doesn't like the provision in the House bill that would eliminate the option of abortion coverage in a government national insurance exhange that's proposed in the bill.
Franken, however, wouldn't say if that was enough for him to vote against the bill.
