Obama's Comments in Support of Public Option - washingtonpost.com

Obama's Comments in Support of Public Option - washingtonpost.com: "March 26 And to say we are going to allow anybody to get health insurance -- and if you've got a preexisting condition you're not going to be excluded, but you're going to be able to obtain health insurance; and if you can't obtain it through a private plan, there is going to be a public plan that is available in some way to give you insurance, or insurers are obligated to provide you with insurance in some way -- now, that's a principle.

June 15 Let me also address an illegitimate concern that's being put forward by those who are claiming that a public option is somehow a Trojan horse for a single-payer system.

Now, I'll be honest. There are countries where a single-payer system works pretty well. But I believe -- and I've even taken some flak from members of my own party for this belief -- that it's important for our reform efforts to build on our traditions here in the United States."
