Reid To Unveil Health Care Bill With Public Option

All things are pointing to a public option right now. Reid will give details about the health care bill going to the senate floor. It WILL include a public option with states given the option to opt out. My god, is this leadership? There are still a ton of hurdles but this is VERY promising.

From Politico:

"Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid will announce this afternoon that he plans to push ahead with a public option vote – most likely one that includes an opt-out provision for states – even though he's currently short several votes for passage, according to people close to the situation."

Will it get the 60 votes. Right now, only 57-58 votes of the 60 needed are for the bill.
