They started with a certain proposal and ended up with something pretty close to what they proposed, as far as the general principles. Minus a public option.

IIRC Obama actually had a pretty good deal worked out with Sen Snowe to bring it to 60 votes, that had a triggered public-option that would have kicked in if certain cost results were not met within a certain time.

But then it went to the Senate and some people killed it.
