Public Option Switcheroo

The woman who, to everyone's relief, sidelined Liddy Dole, turned out to be a problem on health care. Or at least that's what progressives were saying up until yesterday.

One of the Democratic senators who was on the fence when it came to backing a public option for health insurance coverage is coming out in support of the measure.
On Thursday, Sen. Kay Hagan (D-N.C.) offered her support for the health care overhaul proposal put forth by the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, of which she is a member. In the process, she issued a statement that removed any doubt about where she stands on a publicly run insurance option.
