Surprising Confidence

Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY)

Sen. Schumer and Sen. Rockefeller seemed surprisingly confident that the health care bill will contain a real public option on a conference call that ended a short time ago.

Said Schumer: “The health care bill that is signed into law by the President will have a good, strong, robust public option.”

TPM’s Ben Frumin was on the call and files this report.
