But things are starting to heat back up, and one of the key issues that’s surfaced has been whether the final bill will include a “public option” of some kind.  I’ll have more to say about that in the future, but for now you might want to check out Ezra Klein’s quickie primer on the various flavors of public option currently on offer.  It’s a good way of getting up to speed on this.
