Mark Kirk presents alternative plan for health care reform

U.S. Rep. Mark Kirk presented Monday a rival plan for national health-care reform in opposition to the Democratic proposals making their way through Congress. Yet, it was unclear whether it had serious chances of passage or was just a way of presenting him as a self-proclaimed "rational, practical centrist" in his race for the U.S. Senate seat now occupied by Roland Burris.

And, his presentation Monday emphasized reservations held by many suburban congressmen.
