Senate Democratic Leaders Prove They Were Never for a Public Option

According to The Plum Line, Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) is “willing to commit to introducing an amendment that would add the public option to the Senate bill’s reconciliation fix.” If such an amendment were introduced, it would be “very hard for the Senate Dem leadership to block.” It would get a “straight majority vote,” which is actually “worrying to Senate Dem leaders.”
Seems to me “Senate Dem leaders” are outing themselves, finally and officially, as being against the public option. (Hey, no problem stringing your base along for a year guys.)
So yo, Bernie, go for it.
