She says, "I've made it pretty clear that may support is going to be dependant on whether or not we eliminate a government run, government funded public option. I also want to make sure that what we're focused on is making sure we protect Medicare for seniors and Medicare for the providers for seniors."

She continues, "We also want to make sure the small businesses are getting the best opportunity and the best environment to be able to participate in this and we worked on that in the Senate Finance Committee with the idea that we'd have a better opportunity on the floor to improve upon that. And certainly making sure this is going to be good for Arkansas."
