Obama Care

[CRedskinsRule]

Really it comes down to what is politically feasible. UHC, if it is ever to become real, has to be now. Strong liberal control of both legislative bodies, and a liberal president. If the Republicans gain in the midterm then the focus can shift back to SS/medicare, and paint the Republicans as cry babies. But right now is the time for the liberal base to push through as much dramatic underlying shift as possible. If they are able to, then as they say, to the victor goes the spoils.

They have to pass it now before people get a chance to read the thing and realize how bad of a bill is.

If they push through bad legislation, they will likely lose control of Congress in 2010, and possibly the White House in 2012.
