Excellent. Kudos to the Republicans who can see past the political opportunity to stymie progress and are actually working with us to find a solution. Obama proves day after day that he is the right man at the right time.

Last night I heard that support for the Public Option was in question. Now today I read this guy saying, "if" there is a public option. Without real competition, without insurance companies being forced to actually compete and drive down costs - none of this will matter. I hope the Public Option is still on the table. The Blue Dog did say that he was against a mandate. I'd personally be willing to jettison a mandate for public or private insurance, for the option to have public, private, or none at all. But I think the none at all would be a problem, because if insurers can't refuse people, then people can basically game the system by not getting insurance until they DO get sick.

From what I'm hearing, the public option is STILL part of the package.

In any event, if a public option is still available we're good
