He Didn't Say "Public Option"......

President Obama is talking Health Care Reform right now in Nevada and is explaining what he wants to accomplish. He didn't say 'public option' in his comments.

I called the White House this morning and asked that they support the Senators that have signed and are signing on to 'public option' through reconciliation. Everyone needs to call to show our support if they get the guts to do this.

1. If the President says "Public Option" now

Freedomworks, Blue Cross, Aetna, Wellpoint and the rest of the cabal will fire up the kill grandma lunatic fringe noise machine.

Timing is everything.

2. Tell me if if have this right:

First of all, I don't see Obama including the PO as he's working on a plan that will get bipartisan support.

If he can't come to an agreement with them, or even if he can, can't the Senate just ignore that and forge ahead with reconciliation? Do they actually NEED Obama to contribute to the bill, other than to sign it?

3. Sure didn't sound like public option to me either...

I keep feeling this disappointment. Some will be helped, but not everybody.
