Clarifying Health Care Facts And Dropping Public Option

With the Obama administration dropping the public option from the bill, I suspect this will slow down the rabid debate - including posts about it. However, a new one will arise: How does this affect Obama's presidency moving forward? Is this a a big enough blow or can he recover? It was a bloody one.

Seven falsehoods about health care reform verified by factcheck.org.

Obama drops public option here.

Howard Dean had this to say:

"You really can't do health reform" without allowing the government to compete with private insurers, said Howard Dean, a former Democratic Party chairman. "Let's not say we're doing health reform without a public option," he added in a slap at the administration's latest move."

Government compete? I like Dean - or anyone from Vermont for that matter - but isn't that like, an oxymoron or something?
