Key House Member: Progressives ARE Drawing Line In Sand On Public Option

Rep. Raul Grijalva (D-AZ)

Rep. Raul Grijalva (D-AZ)–co-chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus–says that the 60 House progressives who have committed to voting against a health care reform proposal if it does not include a public option are serious.

“If there is a slippage, it’s minimal,” Grijalva said.

A report in The Hill this morning warned that “the 60 signatures might be soft.”

According to the report, the 60 “include lawmakers who have said they can accept health cooperatives and others who say they wouldn’t vote against the House bill in the end.”
