Single-​​Payer Hopes Live On

Via HuffPo, it’s entirely pos­si­ble that my thoughts on 59 votes vs. 60 was com­pletely correct:

More than 100 House Democ­rats have signed a let­ter to Sen­ate Major­ity Leader Harry Reid ask­ing him to put the pub­lic option back in the leg­is­la­tion if it moves through the Sen­ate using bud­get rec­on­cil­i­a­tion, which requires only a sim­ple majority.

This is even bet­ter than I hoped!
