White House may draft its own healthcare bill

Frustrated with the inability of the Democrat controlled House and Senate to pass a bill, Barack Obama may draft his own healthcare bill.

CNN reports:

Multiple sources close to the process told CNN on Friday that while the plan is uncertain, the administration is preparing for the possibility of delivering its own legislation to Capitol Hill sometime after President Obama's speech to a joint session of Congress on Wednesday.

A source close to the White House said the administration is leaning toward dropping the public option.

Critic have said, “if members of congress can’t cram healthcare down voter’s throats, Obama will do it for them.
