		<description><![CDATA[For a political proposal that appeared ready to be staked in the heart by its opponents just weeks ago, the public option looked surprisingly perky this week. In fact, the only thing that now sounds optional about the proposed reform initiative is the abundance of public option options being floated.

		<description><![CDATA[Students of history may get a chuckle when they hear Republicans define Obama&#8217;s health care plan as &#8220;socialism.&#8221;  If we look to the past, we see Obama&#8217;s plan is pretty much in line with Republican President Richard M.
