Are the Democrats About to Pull A Fast One? And Is That Really A Bad Thing?
Health care reform may be in the Democrats' grasp--thanks to a little known, at least to the average American, process called "budget reconciliation" that could allow healthcare reform to be passed through the Senate with the Democrats 58 votes because the Republicans won't be able to filibuster it.
According to CNN.com, it's not the most popular idea or maybe even the most ethical one--but if it gets the job done and gives Americans universal access to health care sooner rather than later, maybe it's the loophole that will save millions of American's lives and finally make healthcare a right rather than just a privilege.
They may be pulling a fast one, but I say full steam ahead.
