Health Care Game
Schmog and I were discussing the demise of the Public Option last night. He pointed out that the current health care bill is basically what Clinton and Co. tried to pass against all that opposition back then. So if Obama's goal was to simply accomplish what they did not, he's about to do so. And perhaps the Public Option was a brilliant red herring for the Republicans and the tea parties.

I cannot be elated with any result that doesn't feature a public option.
We're not elated, either. But we are hopeful that this is a start toward regulating the industry, and my understanding is that non-profit insurance companies are getting nationwide contracts out of this bill. I think that's very promising if they can beat the for-profit insurers.
