Healthcare reform

Does Obama support a public option now? I guess we will find out Wednesday night.

Axelrod and Gibbs stay on (un)clear message on the Sunday morning bobblehead shows;

David Axelrod says Obama believes a public option would be a good tool. But Axelrod says “it shouldn’t define the whole health care debate.”

And Gibbs takes a shot at it;

It’s still unclear what Obama will do on a proposal for government-sponsored coverage to compete with private insurers. Gibbs says the president supports it. But Gibbs isn’t saying Obama would veto a bill if it doesn’t include the public option.

I think Obama must support some kind of public option, it just has to be there or there is no point in passing a healthcare reform bill, but it must also be fair to Americans;

– Only available to American citizens that pay taxes (either income or retail)

– It should include a voter registration provision. If you are over 18 you should be a registered voter and registered for selective service (unless state felony laws prevent it).

– There should be NO limitations. If you want the public option and want to get rid of your private plan, you should be able to, no questions asked.

Thursday morning news programs oughta be interesting.
