Why Health Care Reform* Will Pass This Year

Bold prognostication, yes? Not really. There are three reasons why Health Care Reform will pass this year:

1) Democrats have a majority in the House and Senate and hold the White House

2) Because they can. and

3) Because they have to, to let Obama save face. Besides, whatever they pass they will call Health Care Reform*.

Knowing that they will pass something, anything, to let Obama save face, it is important to hold Congress's feet to the fire so that nothing that even resembles the public option, that was to be the precursor of single payer (whatever they end up calling it), will be passed without the knowledge that those who support it will pay for their vote dearly at the ballot box in 2010.
