A key Senate committee voted against creating a new government health insurance plan after senators sparred for hours Tuesday over the necessity of a so-called public option to compete with the private market.
The 15-to-8 vote by the Senate Finance Committee could forecast the fate of the public option in the Senate as a whole. The outcome was expected but still a defeat for liberals who view government-sponsored insurance for the middle class as a key component of President Obama's health care overhaul.
