Former Democratic National Committee chair Howard Dean fired one of the clearest warning shots at hesitant Democratic lawmakers on Thursday. He said that if the party was unable to produce a health care bill with a public plan, there would be electoral consequences.
Dean insists on Democratic discipline
"I do think there will be primaries as the result of all this, if the bill doesn't pass with a public option," Dean said, in a phone interview with the Huffington Post.
The former Vermont governor added the caveat that he thought "cooler heads" would ultimately prevail and that a government run option for insurance coverage would be passed.
Dean, who is a keynote speaker at the Netroots Nation conference at Pittsburgh this week. He was "in favor" of holding recalcitrant senators and congressman accountable on health care related issues.
