Mr. Dean said "Democrats can't cave" on Mr. Obama's plan, which he called "perfect."

"Not every Republican is a right-wing ideologue," Mr. Dean said in an interview Monday.

"They called Medicare socialized medicine," he said. "If they want to filibuster this to death, be my guest and let's see how they do in 2010."

Mr. Dean said he is not interested in an administration job, but he wouldn't engage in hypotheticals about what he would do if Mr. Obama asked him to serve as surgeon general, for example.

He said he has told the White House he does not want to be considered for the post.
