Nah, even a speech for laypeople should have included more detail than that. The problem is that he legitimately hasn’t decided what he wants to do just yet. The House bill has come under increasing fire, because (1) it might include a public option and (2) it might not include a public option. In any case a House bill has to get through committee, get voted on, pass an equivalent through the Senate committees, pass that equivalent through the whole Senate, beat any filibusters, go to conference, and finally have the President sign it.

The Senate actually does have a version released as well, but neither of the bills has made enough progress to count as a meaningful proposal at this point.

And in any case, the President needs to start making some decisions. Soon.
