House progressives are organizing an effort to rescue health care reform and plan to pressure their Senate counterparts to go back to the provision that has most energized the party and a majority of Americans through the debate: The public option. The effort was discussed during a closed-door meeting on Tuesday night, with a faction arguing that the way to salvage reform is to persuade the Senate to pass the public health insurance option using the budget reconciliation process that needs only a majority vote. The logic, they argued, is straight forward.
