Here are more news from what Speaker Pelosi's aide, Wendell Primus, said such as how the reconciliation fix can happen and in what matter:

"The House would have to take up that first because it would involve revenue changes and then the Senate would pass it and then I think hopefully with the passing of that legislation, the House, only then would take up the Senate bill and pass it."



"The trick in all of this is that the President would have to sign the Senate bill first and then the reconciliation bill would be signed second and the parts of the reconciliation bill that trump the relevant portions of the first signed bill." "You would really have to use the fact that a later enacted bill takes precedent over a previously enacted bill to achieve the right outcome." Primus added. He predicted that the reconciliation package of fixes would have to increase the threshold on the Cadillac tax, include more affordability credits, close the donut hole in the Medicare Part D drug benefit, and eliminate the Cornhusker Kickback. Other Congressional aides agreed with Primus’ assessment and argued that it would be almost impossible to put together a smaller package that achieves any of the Democrats’ objectives because many provisions are interconnected.

In the reconciliation fix, we can aim big and go for the public option, the Medicare buy-in, getting rid of the excise tax, increasing subsidies, and getting rid of the Nebraska Cornhusker Kickback deal. We have the backing of Democracy For America in our grassroots campaign, and we're hoping to hear more from other advocacy groups as well. Let's go big on this one!
