I recently posted an article regarding a plan Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and other Democratic leaders in Washington are contemplating for getting health care with a public option passed. It involved attaching the entire health care bill as an amendment to another bill already passed in the House and pending in the Senate.

Now information is coming out about another option under consideration. Sen. Reid weighing the option of pulling a bait and switch to get the votes he needs for cloture while providing certain moderate Senators their deniability.

States Susan Ferrechio, Chief Congressional Correspondent for the Washington Examiner,

"Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., is weighing a plan to bring the final health care bill to the floor without a public option -- making it much easier to get the 60 votes needed to prevent a Republican filibuster -- and then adding the provision later as an amendment.

The public option amendment would be there waiting, but the 60-vote test would technically be on a bill without the government plan. Then moderate Democrats could drop out for the vote on the public option, which requires just 51 votes for passage."
