Kent Conrad's Compromise

Interesting read. The co-op model isn't a panacea that some think it is, but it's not universally unworkable either. Obviously I liked Senator Conrad's statement that "...this so-called public option cannot get 60 votes in the Senate. Its inclusion could doom the larger health reform effort." If nothing else, this is a good piece to reference in the letters to your Senators and Representatives which I know you are all planning to write during summer recess.
