On abortion a key concession from LifeNews.com...

“So you are saying that he will go beyond what we have seen in the House and explicitly rule out any public funding for abortion?” the host asked Sebelius.

“Well that’s exactly what the President said and that’s what he intends that the bill he signs will do," she responded. "I think the legislative language will reflect what the President has just said."

On illegal immigrant Obama concedes from American Family Association:

"Wilson knew that every attempt to deny coverage to “undocumented immigrants” had been voted down by Democrats, and that there was no verification method or enforcement mechanism in place to keep them from getting taxpayer-subsidized health insurance.

Last night, the White House caved, releasing a statement saying that the administration is now backing a proposal that says, “Verification will be required when purchasing health insurance on the exchange,” and specifically mentions the SAVE program (Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements) that states currently use to make sure illegals don’t consume taxpayer-funded benefits that are reserved for legal residents."

It would have been nice to have these concessions before the speech after claiming misrepresentation. Maybe these concessions over the weekend is what is driving the support for ObamaCare up and Obama himself. See Support for Health Care Reform Jumps to 51%, Highest Total Yet and for the President himself see Obama Approval Indext History. We will just have to wait and see what passes and then we may have a better idea then. Update 09/15/2009-Apparently the up tick in support for Obama's health care plan has fallen back to pre-speech levels see: Support for Health Care Plan Falls Back To Pre-Speech Level and so has Obama's approval rating.

Lastly, there has been talk about letting the public option go.

White House Downplays Public Option-CBNNews.com

The White House and members of Congress are playing down the public option on health insurance.

They are trying to get as much bi-partisan support as possible to get the legislation passed - and the public option seems to be one of the most divisive parts of the reform.

"I urged the president to take the public option off the table. There's no way to pass a plan that includes the public option," said Sen. Olympia Snowe. R-Maine.

Snow added that clinging to a public option "leaves open a legislative possibility that creates uncertainty in this process."

White House Adviser David Axlerod said "We should not let the whole debate devolve into this one question."

Instead, Democrats seem to be redirecting the debate to imposing regulations on insurers and promising coverage regardless of medical condition."
