So FoxNews is reporting that the Obama administration is starting to open up to the idea of taking the public option for Health Insurance off the table in order to compromise.
"On Sunday, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said the so-called public option -- a government-run health care plan that would be just one component of a broader health care overhaul -- is "not the essential element."
She suggested the White House could settle for a system of insurance cooperatives instead, something the Senate Finance Committee is considering."

Now we're getting somewhere. I'm not against government oversight (done properly), I just don't want to see the government offer and provide competitive insurance. It's not their business and they need to a more governmentally appropriate role in this system.
Let's fix it, not replace it.
