Republican National Commitee Chairman Michael Steele and potential Democratic Senate candidate Harold Ford Jr. agree that Americans want action now on health care reform, but disagree on how to achieve it.
Steele and Ford — who is considering a run for a U.S. Senate seat in New York — faced off Thursday on health care, taxes, abortion and other issues for more than 90 minutes during a joint appearance at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock.
Steele said Republicans aren’t opposed to health care reform, but want something that results from consensus. Ford said that lawmakers in Washington may need to “start over” on health reform.
Ford, a former Tennessee congressman, moved to New York City after losing the 2006 U.S. Senate race. He’s considering challenging New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand in the Democratic primary.
