“Public Option” Is Back on Table


“In the debate over health care reform, the White House said a public health insurance option is not off the table after all. The government-run public option would provide insurance to millions of uninsured Americans. The public option is the most controversial aspect of the president’s reform plan, but the White House said reports that the president is ready to abandon it are just not true.” (WCBV TV, Wednesday)
