Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-LA) implied very strongly on Fox News this morning that she won't support a public health insurance option.

"I am not a big fan of public option," she said. "We already have two public options that most people in America understand Medicaid and Medicare. Both have very, very serious problems. One is gonna be bankrupt in seven years and the other one doctors won't want to participate. So we certainly don't want to create a third one like that."

Have some more donuts, Mary. You insurance company benefactors will pick up the (large) bill. But when your ticker gives out, rest easy on your taxpayer-supplied health care.
