The Presidents Mission

"I Don't Quit."  There is no doubt that when the President uttered these words at his first State of the Union address, that health care reform was included in this statement. He stated several times his intent to finish what he started with health care reform.

Although, he did not say whether he was willing to part ways with certain aspects of the bill.  He was vague on purpose.  He will again scope out the political landscape, try and find out if he can get the required votes for the reform he wants. If not, he will and must start over. 

If health care reform starts over, true bipartisanship will happen and something will be passed.  While it is not exactly clear what bipartisanship would produce in a bill, you can guarantee there will be no public option.  Either way, President Obama is going to continue with his health care reform agenda and is resting a lot of his political capital on it.
