Pelosi to allow full floor debate on single payer option

November 5, 2009 by Betsy Muse

Until last night, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was refusing to allow any amendments to H.R. 3962 - the newest healthcare bill to come out of the House. Now it appears that she will allow a full floor debate and vote on the single-payer or Medicare for all amendment. This should happen on Friday or Saturday.

Congressman Anthony Weiner authored the amendment and more than likely will lead the floor discussions for the Dems. It will be interesting to see where the votes fall on this amendment.

If we do an action plan at BlueNC tomorrow, I will link to it or simply bring it here too. Things are still up in the air a bit, so stay tuned.
