Fox News reported this morning that Speaker Nancy Pelosi was working on her own draft of the health care bill — which a Pelosi aide tells us is false.
Fox had a breaking news item: “We are learning this morning that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is working on her own draft of the health care overhaul – including another push for government-run health insurance.”
Again, we repeat: A Pelosi aide confirms to us that this is false.
So where do things actually stand? Well, the health care bills are making their way through multiple committees, and the Dem leaders and chairs of those committees have been working to iron out the differences. Perhaps the brilliant parliamentarians at Fox heard something about Pelosi’s participation in that ongoing process, and concluded that she’s working on her own bill.
