BARTIROMO: "A new study finds Affordable Care Act exchanges only offer one coverage option to 31 percent of United States counties next year. Another 31 percent may only have two options. What are the costs related to offsetting the lack of coverage with Obama's public option?"
EMANUEL: "I'm not sure I understand the question but, Maria, when you talk about it in terms of counties, if you include rural counties that actually is a much smaller number in terms of population. Most of the American public will have — 80 percent of the public will have choices and we do need to give people choices. That is very important, the president has been committed to that. That is one of the reasons to consider the public option if you don't have enough insurance companies in those markets."
