OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Democratic U.S. Senate candidate will make an announcement regarding the national debate on health care reform and his plan for change.

The former U.S. senator and Nebraska governor will hold a news conference Thursday morning at his Omaha campaign office.

Kerrey supported President Barack Obama’s health care law that was mostly upheld last week by the U.S. Supreme Court, but has said he would like to see changes made to it.

Kerrey has said he’s particularly interested in a proposal that would see the federal government and states “swap” responsibilities for Medicaid and public schools. Under the plan, the federal government would take full responsibility for Medicaid, a federal-state program for poor and disabled people, while states would take full responsibility for public schools.
