A plan to reform health care, without a public insurance "DOA," said an organizer left arms on the possibility that the Obama Administration may waive its efforts to build 'choices public. "Jim Dean, chairman of Progressive Democracy for America, wrote Monday that supporters say their fight against any attempt to organize a public health insurance plan in force of non-profit cooperative activity.
Insider suggests Democrats and insurance are the result of the effort to murder a plan administered by the government, e-mail Dean takes all Republicans in the House to oppose reform of the health care cooperative, and the loss of the Democratic support, he died on the day of arrival.
"Let us be clear: A draft law on public health without options DOA in the House. Period.
To a bill in Parliament requiring that at least 218 votes, but 64 House Democrats issued and said they would not vote for the bill, without the option. This means a bill without public choice has 193 votes, "he said.
On Sunday, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius told CNN: "State of the Union" that the choice is not the essential element in the reform of the law.
"I think there is a competitor to the private insurers," said Sebelius, showing that the cooperative could operate as a substitute. "What is the essential part is not to turn the whole new market for private insurance companies and the confidence to do things. We have a number of options, we need some competition.
Sebelius extended comments of President Obama a day earlier when he told a municipal government term program of health insurance has never been the most important part of the call for reform.
"The public choice, as we have or have not, not all of the health care reform. This is only tapes of him, one aspect of this" Obama has told a town hall, Colorado.
"So we are engaged in a series of proposals to the questions. I think we can work. But these are specific questions on the contrary broad philosophical questions about whether the government still plays or not."
Several liberals of any changes in current accounts which are discussed in the Congress of the criticism of the weekend offered a suggestion that the administration glue "public option" proposal to the trade.
"Let the private insurers the task of controlling the cost of healthcare is making pyromaniac fire chief," said Rep. Anthony Weiner, DN.Y., who advocates the selection of the government's position on House Energy and Commerce Committee.
"Any bill without public health insurance, Medicare, the health care reform," said Rep. Barbara Lee, D-Calif., Chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus. "Without the public choice, there will be no way to insurance companies honest and their prices fall. Health an option to compete with the private insurers will be to establish standards that can help reduce costs and improve access."
Howard Dean, former presidential candidate and former physician to the chairman of the Democratic Party and a liberal in his hand, said that concerns of health care reform can occur without direct government role.
"You really can not reform health care," Dean told NBC's "Today Show." "We should not spend $ 60 billion per year to subsidize the insurance."
But while supporters of the government and the program highlights the fact that alternatives such as cooperatives enough, yes. Kent Conrad, DN.D., one of the six negotiators try to reach a bipartisan compromise on the Senate Finance Committee, told "Fox News Sunday" that the government insurance plan just does not go to vote.
"The fact is that there are votes in the Senate of the United States for public choice. Never been," he says. "So to continue hunting rabbits that I think is just a wasted effort."
Pennsylvania Sen. Arlen Specter, Republican, a Democrat who is facing some of the strongest opposition to the government-run plan, said Monday not ready for the table. He added that hu'd to leave as an insurance option, but make choices.
