Excellent! I also read this morning that the public option already has 40 votes in the Senate!!

As I understand the issuse, the house has to pass the senate bill as is, no changes, to allow the reconcillation in the senate. If the house changes the senate bill it will need 60 votes in the senate, which it doesn't have.
At this time there isn't votes in the house to pass the senate bill, thats why Pelosi hasn't called for a vote. Still trying to buy votes. Where is the transparency promised.
