Sen. Joe Lieberman (pictured) says he expects to support the Democrats' health care legislation as long as any government-run insurance plan stays out of the bill.
Reid needs Lieberman's support to secure 60 votes necessary to advance the legislation in the 100-member Senate.
To win him over, Senate leaders said late Monday they were backing away from a Medicare expansion Lieberman opposed.
They already had dropped a full-blown government insurance program.
Lieberman told reporters Tuesday that if the Medicare expansion and government insurance plan are gone, "I'm going to be in a position where I can say what I've wanted to say all along: that I'm ready to vote for health care reform."
