PUBLIC OPTION IS NOT QUITE BUT ALMOST DEAD


It’s flopping and flipping around, but there’s still a bit of life in it!

Harry Reid, the top-dog Senator may drag a health care reform bill to the floor of the Senate this is close to death but not quite. Reid’s bill will include the public option that many progressives are demanding.

Here’s a NY Times Blog, Prescriptions – Making Sense of the Health Care Debate – by Robert Pear and David Herszenhorn that explains what Reid is up to. If you, like I, are intensely interested in this issue, go take a look.

Reid’s plan gives individual states the right to opt out of such a health care option. I’ve not made up my mind on it yet. More tomorrow.
