Over in the House, Speaker Nancy Pelosi seems ok with legislation letting the states opt out of any public option.
In the Senate, Majority Leader Harry Reid supposedly has close to the 60 votes needed to avoid a filibuster, based on the idea that states would be able to opt out a national public option
The only problem is the White House, which prefers Olympia Snowe's idea for triggers, thus getting her vote and being able to call the bill bi-partisan. The White House says those reports are false though.
