ROCKEFELLER'S PUBLIC OPTION GOES DOWN: It's "public option amendment day" in the Senate Finance Committee's markup of the evil Baucus Bill, and oh look at this, Jay Rockefeller's amendment for a strong public option with reimbursement rates tied to those of Medicare... is dead. It was voted down 15-8. Democrats voting no: Baucus, Carper, Conrad, Lincoln, Nelson. Now they're taking up Chuck Schumer's amendment, which isn't as strong, but still: public option!
