from Obama's own Campaign web site: The Obama Plan
http://www.barackobama.com/issues/healthcare /
Quality, Affordable Choices
If You Don’t Have Insurance, the Obama Plan:
Creates a new insurance marketplace — the Exchange — that allows people without insurance and small businesses to compare plans and buy insurance at competitive prices.
Provides new tax credits to help people buy insurance.
Provides small businesses tax credits and affordable options for covering employees.
Offers a public health insurance option to provide the uninsured and those who can’t find affordable coverage with a real choice.
Immediately offers new, low-cost coverage through a national “high risk” pool to protect people with preexisting conditions from financial ruin until the new Exchange is created.

 Ed Shultz is WRONG Obama NEVER in the campaign said he was for Public Option |

I think it is up to Ed to prove it with a transcript - it sure wasn't a promise spoken often |
