After a summer of town hall meetings featuring swastikas, yelling, harassing, and foaming at the mouth from protesters opposing health care reform, the latest CBS News poll shows that 65% of the American people still want the public option.
However, after an amendment offered by Sen. John D. Rockefeller IV (D-W.Va.) was voted down 15 to 8, the committee voted 13 to 10 to reject a second public-option provision introduced by Sen. Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.) on 9/29/09.
In actuality, neither of these amendments, or any of the legislative proposals that include the public option, would actually make it available to everyone. In fact, the public option, at least at the outset, would not be an option for most Americans, particularly those who already have health insurance.
The public, in other words, may have more appetite for the public option than many in Congress do.
Do you think that there should be a Public Option? How do you see Health Care Reform moving forward in the USA if at all? |
