Howard Dean backs Obama health care plan

Howard Dean, the former Vermont governor and Democratic National Committee chairman who ran as a presidential candidate, endorsed President Barack Obama's health care reform plan Tuesday.

Dean told a crowd of college students in Washington that a public system is the only option for addressing the nation's healthcare dilemma.

"If you ever want to save costs, it will never happen in the private sector," Dean said.

"We don't really have any health insurance in this country. What we have is a shell game like they had up on Wall Street... What we have is a system to make lots of money."
