Pelosi's Secret Plan for the Public Option

By GottaLaff

Wouldn't it be nice if everyone in the Senate understood the logic of a "robust" public option so they wouldn't have to do this awkward little dance?

[...] TPM reports:

"As always, the legislative process is unpredictable, and the Senate is operating in isolation from the House. But with the public option potentially in the balance, Speaker Pelosi's goal is this: present conservative Democrats in both chambers with a Hobson's choice between a public option bill and a potentially more expensive Senate bill that may have no public option at all."
