This Week had a pretty good discussion on healthcare. Tom Daschle, Maxine Waters on one side and Mike Pence, lying through his teeth, and Bob Dole on the other. Watch it here.
If democrats are going to follow through with a public option through reconciliation, I'm hoping they address other cost cutting measures, such as fee for service.
From what I've gathered, Obama is going to support the public option, much as he always has, in his speech. But he's not going to demand a public option, which is what the left wants. In that regard, I'm not sure Obama can accomplish much with his speech. People just want to hear: do you want a public option or not?
He'll probably try and talk about other health reform measures in a way that more people will understand, and he'll once again make an appeal for bipartisanship, just in case there is anyone in America who thinks he hasn't tried to get the republicans on board, but what else is left to say?
