"Public Option" — To be Thrown Aside?

More articles by »
Written by: Verna Smith

Exactly, what is the message from the president? Single payer not practical given what we have in place. Clearly understood!

Public Option would create a level of competition to private insurers– would give the middle class a chance to shop around for what they need. Now that is not ‘essential’ to reform. What’s the deal?

Democrats have the numbers, but not the votes.
Time to share the details with the public. Again, what’s the ‘deal’ ? Who’s calling the shots to make something meaningful happen?

Just asking Madame Secretary? What say you?

    Ihope the Democrats will step to the plate and provide healt care reform for all Americans.The GOP ers are putting up a fight but I hope they will not prevail. All people living in the USA should have health care as a right.
    Every Congress person should remember they have theirs and it is time to work fot the people who keep them in Congress.

    If President Obama fails to hold up to this campaign promise on healthcare reform, he will lose support from his base. Politically, that would be too costly.

    He needs to "bite" the Bullet and get Congress moving on what he wants. But so far… he's still fuzzy on what exactly he desires in a bill.

    Knowing his level of political savvy, however, the president has something he wants to 'play' at the last minute. Cannot see him settling to become a one-term president this early in the game.

    "BO" has plan to prove to the country once again, that he WON THE ELECTIONS LAST NOMEMBER.
    In the end, get ready to hear Kudos from his supporters on another victory.
