Quality health care reform

You can tell the quality of a product by those who espouse the product or by word of mouth from people who have used it.

As the health care reform bill was going through commitee one of the amendments to the bill that was suggested was to have congress forego their health plan for the public option of this new bill. Now the Dem's many of whom are pushing hard for a universal provider or a plan that will lead to a single payer system voted against this amendment.

What does this tell us about The health care reform currently on the legislative agenda?
