...Some Obama allies fear that in his eagerness to get a deal - especially one that can attract Republican votes - he is giving away too much. The Senate Finance Committee, for example, is on the verge of a deal that would jettison the public option in favor of nonprofit, consumer-owned health-care co-ops, which would mean far less government involvement than many liberals would like to see. The Finance Committee, whose chairman, Max Baucus of Montana, is working closely with ranking Republican Charles Grassley, appears poised to omit any requirement that employers provide coverage to their workers (though they...

...highly controversial idea that Republicans say is tantamount to the socialization of health care, but which many Democrats (including Obama) say is essential for any overhaul of the system. The Senate Finance Committee's bill takes a middle-of-the-road approach, including a co-op plan, essentially a nonprofit version of a government plan that some critics say couldn't possibly compete effectively the way a public option could.
