Healthcare update: Public option in the House, Lieberman in the outhouse

Just passing along a quick update on healthcare reform legislation. Yesterday, independent Senator Joseph Lieberman announced he would join a Republican filibuster to prevent a public option from being included in healthcare reform legislation. For details, see the full story on CNN.com.
