Off Topic: 3 Health Care Items.

Maybe something will finally happen with health care this year.
Three most recent developments.

1. Walmart supports mandatory employer coverage.WaPo story HERE.
   
2. AMA says a "public option" could be part of solution and suggests using federal employees health plan instead of creating new plan. (Editorial comment: FEHB really isn't public plan, but a version of of employer provided health care plan with multiple private sources offering packages at differing costs/features within overall minimum guidelines). CNN story HERE.
   
3. Leak says new CBO letter projects health care reform costs, with public plan, about $600 billion, NOT a trillion. AP story HERE.
