HuffPost political reporter Sam Stein joined The Ed Show panel tonight, along with Todd Webster, Democratic strategist, and John Feehery, Republican strategist, to discuss charges of racism against the GOP and the state of health care reform. Stein believes there will ultimately be some variation of a public option, either an opt-in or an opt-out.

Just watched Frontlines piece on the issue of Derivatives and the still lethal threat to our economy.
How essentially Obama is not taking the action which any sane President would and bring back the essential regulations that will help prevent the Mother of all depressions from resulting in continuous never ending greed

Im afraid the american people are being sold out to the huge international corporations and their conspiracy to make the world safe for the massive international Corporations in a sad Oligarchy also called the New World Order.

I think you should hire someone to investiagte this massive conspiracy. I would suggest Dirk Gently's Holistic detective Agency

it is working and do not let up, until a true Public Option, like Medicare for all is adopted.

[Tiger99]

Medicare for all is not as much an option as it is a mandate.

If there is a PO, it will have to be without any restrictions, otherwise it's worthless, period.

What else is there to debate? Alan Grayson on Bill Maher: GOP Health Care Reform Would Be to Allow You to Take Your Gun to the Doctor's Office.

well, well, these 4 guys are on on cue, they say the right things for their people, keep it up ed, we need you to work for the people in the middle and at the bottom, thanks ed

There is absolutely no excuse to include anything other than a strong public option, with no "triggers", no "opt-out", or "opt-in".
The majority of the American public wants the public option, they want a control on the insurance companies, and real competition(the public option is the only way to insure that).
Reid and President Obama have the momentum behind them, they need to take it and go with it.
No excuses!

That's a public option???

I know... I'm sitting here in BFE Georgia. Thinking about moving to Florida (or the UK) if this really happens.

Choose the UK the medical care is much better. I have had care in Canada, the UK and the US. #1 UK hands down #2 Canada second and lagging way behind the US.

Thats why they live longer.
