Hagan not ready to commit

[ccharles000]

U.S. Sen. Kay Hagan will be featured in a conference call today with U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius.

The call, for the benefit of reporters who cover Washington from around the country, is meant to discuss a new HHS report on rural health care, Barb Barrett reports.

Given the public debate on health reform, it’s also certain to push the Obama administration’s points for why health reform is needed.

Hagan, of Greensboro, is one of the moderate Democrats who have been closely watched in the Senate this year for clues on how she’ll vote.

Her spokesman, Dave Hoffman, pointed out this morning that Hagan is one of a few senators who already cast a vote on reform; she voted "yes" for the version that went through the Senate health committee last summer.

But Hagan repeatedly said she was going to wait for the Senate finance committee’s version of the bill, which included details on paying for health reform.
