I have been very surprised with the ease with which Obama has seemed to fold both his IMAC plan (Independent Medicare Advisory Council) and now seemingly the public option as part of his goals for health care reform. I'm not going to offer comment on either of these policies because, to be honest, I feel unqualified. But nonetheless I find it interesting that Obama has been so quick to back down from some of the bigger pieces of his reform ambitions.
One other note: Sarah Palin effectively killed of IMAC herself with her infamous comments (on Facebook no less) about "death panels." Interesting from a woman who most had assumed upon resignation would slip away into irrelevance... I'm not so sure she is going away that fast.
