Reply #50: I'm not sure Obama is compromising on public option

[northernlights]

From what little I've read, public option is part of his health care plan.

Doubtless the insurance companies are trying to negotiate that out of the overall plan. If they succeed, that is one thing.
But if it's not a negotiable item, then it's not a negotiable item.

I doubt Obama is so naive as to think that they'll go through with $2t cuts or savings or whatever if he just drops the public option.
