Dem Lincoln opposes fast-track health bill

WASHINGTON – A moderate Democrat insisted Tuesday she remained opposed to pushing a health care bill through the Senate with a simple majority vote, despite saying she wanted to see what was in the legislation.

Sen. Blanche Lincoln, D-Ark., who is facing a more liberal Democratic primary challenger as well as GOP opposition, said those comments didn’t represent a change of heart on her stance against the controversial majority-vote procedure known as “reconciliation.”

“I don’t support reconciliation! All I said was I want to see what’s in it,” Lincoln told reporters outside the Senate floor.
