AP is reporting there’s a new agreement between House conservatives, moderates (??) and liberals on ways to strengthen the House health care reform bill, including the Public Option:
"We have agreed we need to pull together," said Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Henry Waxman, D-Calif. Liberals, moderates, and conservatives negotiated late into the night Thursday to reach a deal that would restore some subsidies to help low-to-middle income people pay their health insurance premiums, would preserve a strong public insurance option, and would cut drug costs more deeply, Waxman said.
There are no details available at the moment, but this looks important. We’ll report more as we get it.
