Oh, most assuredly it is too early to tell what type of health care reform will be passed, or I guess whether there will be any health care reform in the immediate future. I think most betting people would agree that there will be some reform though.

The biggest question right now appears to be whether or not reform will have a public option. About a month ago a public option would have seemed to be a no-go. Lately though, these seems to be a groundswell of support again.  Of course this will play up and down for the next couple of months.

Salon though is indicating (for today only!) that the public option may be back on the table.  Their article of today (Oct 6, 2009) is a well written piece on the seemingly rise in the tide with regards to the public option.  Check it out.
