Question: What's are the pros & cons of the Public Option being passed by reconciliation now?! |

I think someone outlined the pros\cons earlier but I think we need it even more now...
Pass the PO with reconciliation while giving the 55-65 group the world and then run against KKKons taking away these packages.

16. "Reid has said he opposes using the legislative maneuver", I'd like a link & quote on this too.... |

18. There are only pros now -- but it may also be impossible now. |

21. The pre-existing and recission parts would be stripped out. They are not budgetary. |
