putting a public option in the health care legislation, but that doesn't mean it will be a reality.

I like this:

The public plan is the most divisive issue in the health care debate, even though the Congressional Budget Office says than no more than 12 million people would end up signing up for such insurance. But critics say the public plan, backed by the government’s clout, would have inherent advantages and could eventually dominate the market, leaving hardly any role for private insurers.


That's the point of it.
