Nancy Pelosi? Or Steny Hoyer?
From Politico:
A day after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said that health reform won’t get through the House without a public option, House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer said Friday that the public option may have to go in order to get a bill passed.
“I’m for a public option but I’m also for passing a bill,” Hoyer told reporters on a conference call. “We believe the public option is a necessary, useful and very important aspect of this, but we’ll have to see because there are many other important aspects of the bill as well.”
In San Francisco on Thursday, Pelosi said: “There’s no way I can pass a bill in the House of Representatives without a public option.”
