Ross said conservative Democrats have major reservations about how a public option would work. In the letter and in the meeting, the conservative Democrats stressed they did not want a "Medicare-like" structure for a public option.
"What we are saying is if there is a public option, it can't be based on Medicare rates unless the regional disparity in Medicare rates in fixed," said Ross, who also planned to press for more controls on government spending on healthcare and more savings from changes to Medicare.
