Yes, my eyes did deceive me -- oh well. (Sorry 'bout that!)

I was reading the text of the bill that came out of committee, but the actual Reconciliation bill is in the form of an Amendment/Substitute for H.R. 4872, and there isn't a public option in it.

(I'd originally thought they might have managed to slip in the P.O. - but no.)

1. If they include a PO, they'd lose the blue dogs they need

to vote 'yes' who voted 'no' last time.

As important, a PO would cost them votes for reconciliation in the Senate.
