Single Payer with all the correct language would cut Federal Spending by a TON. The Public Option might do 80% of that if DONE correctly and that's still being debated.

Health Care Reform is not quite Obama's Waterloo but it is a important test to see how aggressive he is or isn't and that will tell us what our next move it with mid-terms coming.
