As predicted on this blog on June 17 (37th anniverary of the Watergate break in) the proposed public option has been reduced in scope in some proposals by excluding those who can get group health coverage from an employer. Of course, it appears that the public option is not going to survive.
I think it is important that we make some progress this year on health insurance. Even if we don't get what some of the more serious health coverage proponents want (the public option), we should not sacrifice the good to wait for the perfect.
There is no law that says the progress made this year can not be revisited for improvement down the road
