So would the republicans vote in favor of a public option amendment as a way to entangle the

reconcilliation bill?

That would be sweet. A bipartisan public option.

1. If there are any sane leaders over there...

I suspect they'll just cut their losses, and stop playing chicken.

That's a mighty big "if" of course.

2. Get it through. We can put it in later.

3. That wouldn't happen....cause then bill would need 60 votes, no?

4. no because once passed all that would be required to enact it into law

is to run it over to the House and have them vote on it.

A risk they will not take.

7. They already voted for it. n/t

[grantcart]

8. No they voted on the House bill the Senate bill never had the PO

Now that the bill has to go back to the House we should put it back in.

9. My point was...

They've already voted for it once, so they should be inclined to do it again.

[Clio the Leo]

5. There was speculation that the GOP would offer a PO amendment....

.... as a part of this evening's barrage. Try to get the bill sent back to the House.
