House
Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said Friday that the public health
insurance option will not be included in a package of fixes to
healthcare reform legislation.
Pelosi's comments throw a
wrench into liberal efforts to reintroduce it to the bill. She shut the
door on a possible pathway opened by Senate Majority Whip Dic* Durbin
(D-Ill.), who said earlier on Friday that he would "aggressively" push
senators to vote for the plan if the House included it in the fixes.
