Pelosi Pitching Reconciliation? By: Daniel Foster The Corner If Obamacare were a centipede, it'd still be on its last leg. But will that stop Nancy Pelosi? <<< A well-informed source tells The Mouth Nancy Pelosi is set to announce the House will got [sic] the reconciliation route on health care reform. Of course, that means using a budgetary procedure that requires a simple majority to pass. It’s still unclear to us precisely what that means would be passed, but possibilities would be creating a national health care exchange and expanding Medicare or Medicaid coverage. Democrats are caucusing now, so stay tuned. Update: A second source confirms that Pelosi is presenting a reconciliation plan to the caucus, and making sure they go with something that can actually pass. >>> Separately, she is meeting with Harry Reid today. As AmSpec's Philip Klein Tweets, this item came out before Pelosi's post-caucus press conference, at which she made clear she doesn't currently have the votes to pass the Senate bill as is. corner.nationalreview.com
