Rep Clyburn Still Riding Public Option/single Payer

[Rivers1]

"I think that this election is seminal," Clyburn said. "We have got to get the minority communities engaged in this process."
Clyburn said that if minority turnout is high, Democrats could expand on the positive changes already made to the nation's health care system.
"Next year we could get the public option or get single payer," he said. "I want us to really keep in mind it is important to future generations to energize this vote before the November elections."

In a somewhat similar vein, Senator Tom Daschle said that the White House negotiated with Insurers, Hospitals and Pharmaceuticals to take the Public Option "off the table" back in mid-2009, even though he kept saying right up until the very end that he was for the Public Option.
