The Democrat from Arkansas told reporters Wednesday he supports the procedural motion needed to begin consideration of the health care reform legislation in the Senate.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid wants to bring his roughly $900 billion, 10-year health care remake to the floor in the next few days. The Democratic leader has spent weeks melding bills from the Senate health committee and the Finance panel.

Pryor says he's undecided on whether he'll support the proposal. Fellow Democratic Sen. Blanche Lincoln of Arkansas is also undecided on the health care proposal and hasn't said whether she supports proceeding with the bill.
