You can't get comprehensive reform passed without putting everything on the table. It may be something he has to "give" in the process of "give and take" in order to get something done.
As opposed to standing on principle and winning the media war, but not getting anything done for the American people.
that is true. You have to be willing to look at every option when you are trying to reform something.

This will be a huge issue so I'm sure there will be many other theories and options tossed out there over the coming months. It will be interesting to see what they eventually come up with. Hopefully it is something that is reasonable and won't cause havoc to the health care system or further bankrupt the country.
