Health Bill May Advance Without Bipartisan Deal
New York Times
Lawmakers of both parties agree on the need to rein in private insurance companies by banning underwriting practices that have prevented millions of Americans from obtaining affordable insurance. Insurers would for example have to accept all applicants and offer a minimum package of benefits to be defined by the federal government. Nearly all Americans would be required to have insurance.

That could conflict with Mr. bama’s often-repeated promise not to raise taxes on middle-class families.

CNN Political Ticker

McCain says in an interview airing on Sunday?s CNN State of the Union when asked whether there is a viable public insurance option that could garner his vote. McCain does not favor a pure public option run by the federal government and the Arizona Republican says he also does not favor insurance co-operatives ? an alternative to government-run single-payer insurance that has been proposed by North Dakota Democrat Sen. Kent Conrad who sits on the Senate Finance Committee. ?The co-ops remind us all of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac? McCain says. ?And so I have not seen a public option that in my view meets the test of what would really not eventually lead to a government takeover.
