www.pbs.org Looking to attract GOP votes, Democrats are waging a fierce debate over whether a public option must be part of health care reform. Scholar Norman Ornstein and The Hotline’s Amy Walter predict a health reform bill will clear Congress despite Democrats’ infighting.

“[W]ith respect to future debt; would it not be wise and just for that nation to declare in the constitution they are forming that neither the legislature, nor the nation itself can validly contract more debt, than they may pay within their own age…” –Thomas Jefferson
ok! want the public option? (i do)
then get obama the votes!!!!!!
There is bipartisanship. The conservative democrats and the republican minority. They are saying no to government controlled health care. Why is this so hard to understand. The simple argument that the private option will remain available to those who choose it means nothing to the people who keep their private insurance, pay for it, and then also pay for other people’s public option.
I cannot understand how liberal Americans, who hate big government, can be in favor bigger government.
Public option is not one sliver of health care reform.
Public option is the “PILLAR”, The BACKBONE OF HEALTH CARE REFORM.
It is the only mechanism for cost control. Otherwise, it is just a Handing-Out-Billions Bills to the healthcare for pro-fit industry.
PUBLIC OPTION !is the best but if you dont like it just buy something else.. there will always be private companys to go to…this is only for the uninsured and those who want it…I DONT UNDERSTAND WHY PEOPLE THINK THIS WILL LIMIT CHOICE? RIGHT NOW 47 MILLION PEOPLE HAVE NO CHOICE THEY HAVE NO HEALTHCARE AND YOU ARE PAYING THEIR WAY ALREADY!! AT LEAST WITH PUBLIC OPTION WE CAN PREVENT THESE PEOPLE FROM ENDING UP IN E.R. ..SUPPORT THE PUBLIC OPTION!!EITHER WAY WE WILL PAY WHY NOT GET BEST DEAL??
Critics say the public option is really a Trojan Horse for a government takeover of all of health insurance. But nothing could be further from the truth. It’s an option. No one has to choose it. Individuals and families will merely be invited to compare costs and outcomes. Presumably they will choose the public plan only if it offers them and their families the best deal — more and better healthcare for less
doctors, hospitals, insurance co., drug co. and the rest of the health care providers that pay big bucks to DC, should all be put in jail. once again- THE RICH WILL GET RICHER. THE AMERICAN PEOPLE GET LEFT BEHIND THE REST OF THE WORLD.
so i can skip between tokyo cooney, eddie izzard, etc and still get my fix of the news hour.
well…i’m the first. i feel so out of the loop..since LOVELY digital tv i miss the news hour every night. thank god there’s more than “college humor” on youtube.
The USDA and FDA have completely failed us, when is this going to enter the health care debate?
This is getting to be like a Tabloid rag – - it’s worse than most of those stories about someone who lost their kid to a crazy x-spouse, yadda yadda…..
We need FOCUS – - health care is NOT the issue – -it’s the system that created / allowed it to happen in the first palce…..FOCUS FOCUS FOCUS ! ! !
