What are the chances that a "public option" will remain a part of health care reform legislation?

based on everything out there, what are the chances that health care reform legislation with a public option passes this year?|||Obama wants it in there, Nancy says it wont pass without one. It needs one, people are desperate and hospitals are closing left and right.|||Slim to none.|||I don't think he is going to give up easily.|||Public opinion is important because you and I will have to pay for health care and hope for the best. Obama said he would pass it this summer but has now changed it to his first term. If he pushes this one thru there will be hell to pay from angry Americans. I believe he will try.
