Amid indications that the Obama administration plans to drop the public option (did it ever really embrace the public option?), Howard Dean is now saying that you can't have actual health care "reform" without it. Health Care reform groups may soon find themselves in a very interesting situation. While everyone has been worrying that the Republicans will rally their forces over the recess to kill health care reform, who exactly on our side is going to spend August advocating for the detritus of what was once Obama's biggest campaign promise?
UPDATE: Actually, the scary part is quite the opposite. What Democratic organization or member of Congress actually has the backbone to stand up and call BS on all of this? I predict not many. They'll all support whatever garbage Obama, Baucus and Grassley eventually come up with. It is, after all, only another trillion dollars. Who cares if it actually doesn't do that much.
