Earlier today, Rep. Anthony Weiner said he thinks about 100 Democratic members of the House would oppose a health care reform bill that didn’t contain a public option. Now, he’s taken the implication of that statement one step further. Not only would such a bill fail, but it wouldn’t even come to the floor for a vote.
