Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., just announced the Senate will vote on a health care plan that includes a government-run plan. It would allow states to opt-out of the plan.

But Florida Sen. Bill Nelson told the Associated Press Monday while traveling with Obama on Air Force One to Florida that he thinks it will be hard for Reid to muster 60 votes for a public option plan that includes an opt-out for states. Otherwise, Nelson said, the powerful insurance lobby "will convince state legislatures to opt out at the very beginning," before a public option plan has had a chance to prove its worth.

Meanwhile, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was in Sunrise today with Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz. Pelosi said a public option might be more attractive if it were called something else, referring to it as "the consumer option."  Wasserman Schultz used the term "competitive option."
