Speaking today today at a press conference promoting equality for women in the health care system, Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-IL) assured reporters and activists that health care reform “will have a public option in it.”
Schakowsky is a member of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, which has jurisdiction over health care reform, and is chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus’ Health Care Task Force.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said that the Congressional leaders are finalizing a health care bill, which will be unveiled “soon.”
