Health care law opt out bill pushed

A leading advocate of states' ability to opt out of federal health care mandates told CNN's "Parker Spitzer" show on Tuesday that a recent bill he co-authored would foster bipartisanship and "encourage innovation [in health-care] right out of the gate."

Democrat Senator Ron Wyden joined Republican Scott Brown in introducing the "Empower States to Innovate Act" last week. It would alter the current health bill to allow states to opt-out of federal mandates by 2014 if they are able to satisfy the level of services and coverage provided under existing federal law.
