The ice had begun to melt Monday WADA President Obama drew a standing ovation. The president said that the assurance of public health it was considering would be an exchange in which patients would still choose their doctors. He said that, although still defined, this option works the same as private plans covering federal employees.

In recent years, they have worked diligently to prevent attempts to reduce Medicare payments to doctors. Their new openness to alternative insurance are new gentle on public plan sponsors.
The White House wasted no time seizing the favorable change. They issued a statement yesterday saying: "The AMA agrees with the President that the adoption reform that lowers costs and increases the choice and coverage is an urgent priority, we look forward to working with them. as the process forward "
Although WADA has not approved entirely a public option. - the details have yet to be determined. - Supporters of a public health plan have reason to walk a little lighter this week
