Senators are considering alternatives to part of their health care legislation. Specifically, the so-called public option: government-run health insurance program. Senate republicans and some democrats and independents are against that plan. A group of Democratic Senators was working to come up with some other ideas they could replace the public option. And late last night, they said they had reached an agreement. If the Senate passes its health care bill, that does not make it law. It would still need to be combined with Health bill, and then that final version would need to pass both the House and the Senate.
