hopefully she won't back down on this

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) is pushing back on signals from the White House that it will back a health care bill without a public option, saying any bill “without a strong public option will not pass the House.” “Any real change requires the inclusion of a strong public option to promote competition and bring down costs,” Pelosi said. “If a vigorous public option is not included, it would be a major victory for the health insurance industry.”
