	<abstract><![CDATA[<p>In an interview with <em>Esquire</em> magazine, former Vermont Governor Howard Dean (author of a new book, "Howard Dean's Prescription for Real Health Care Reform," <a href="http://www.esquire.com/the-side/richardson-report/howard-dean-interview-health-care-070709?src=rss">explained why there was so much resistance to a public health care option</a>.</p>

<blockquote>ESQ: Speaking of the Obama plan, you're even stronger than he has been lately in support of the public plan. You say that without it, it's not reform.

<p><br />
HD: It's not. It's a waste of time. Don't pretend you're going to do health-insurance...</p></blockquote>]]></abstract>
