Do you really think that there's a cost scenario that would cause him to re-evaluate going forward?

OK this is pure speculation. I think he is looking at long term costs, and ways to bring them down. My personal and humble opinion is that we are on our way to primarily a single payer system, with insurance companies selling supplemental policies. I *think* that the public option is the first step.

So yes, I *think* he is willing to accept a short term increase in cost on the presumption that over time, as the public option/options grow then total costs will be reduced.

Again... speculation about someones motives is always dicey at best.
