Good

Nancy Pelosi is saying that notwithstanding the healthcare summit, the house will not move until the Senate passes a reconciliation fix:
However, the House can't act, she noted, until "we see what the Senate will be able to do."

Now, Pelosi stopped short of saying--as she's said in the past--that these changes must be made before the House passes the Senate bill. And, in a surprising statement to reporters today, Congressional Progressive Caucus Co-Chair Raul Grijalva (D-AZ) said it would "help a lot" if the Senate simply wrote a letter--signed by a majority of members--pledging to make the fixes.
I think that her statement is a strong rebuke to the Senate, as well it should be, it is a body that rewards prima donnas and drama queens.

Still, she is moderating her language a bit, which does make me worry.
