This just in from Politico's Twitter: The Rockefeller Amendment to create a public health insurance option has died 8-15.If we're going to drive down health care costs for the long term, we need to have adequate competition in the marketplace.

While neither public option amendment considered today was approved, we still have an opportunity to write a bill that encourages healthy competition.
