Student loans to be in healthcare package - Pelosi

WASHINGTON, March 12 | Fri Mar 12, 2010 11:47am EST

WASHINGTON, March 12 (Reuters) - U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi said on Friday the final version of a broad healthcare overhaul would include a revamp of the student loan program but not a government-run health insurance option.

Pelosi said the House could take up the final changes to the overhaul within a week as congressional leaders launch a final push to pass President Barack Obama's top legislative priority.
