White House Appears Ready to Drop "Public Option"
http://www.truthout.org/081609J?n
Philip Elliott, The Associated Press: "Bowing to Republican pressure,
President Barack Obama's administration signaled on Sunday it is ready to
abandon the idea of giving Americans the option of government-run insurance as
part of a new U.S. health care system. Facing mounting opposition to the
overhaul, administration officials left open the chance for a compromise with
Republicans that would include health insurance cooperatives instead of a
government-run plan. Such a concession would likely enrage his liberal
supporters but could deliver Obama a much-needed win on a top domestic priority
opposed by GOP lawmakers."
