HC bill more important than Democrats' political fortunes

I'm not a Democratic hack: I care more about HC reform than the Dems' Congressional majority. If this bill can cover 32 million more people and control costs, then let the Dems be killed this November for saving lives. I can live with that; and they'll rise again.

If the Repugs want to run this November as the party of no health care, and they win on that, then by God America deserves these cretins. But even so, they won't be able to repeal the health care bill because Obama will veto it. Then by 2012 everyone will realize the bill isn't such a bad deal, and the GOP will still be the party of no health care.

So they'd be taking a big chance if they expected to win the Presidency on a platform of "no."

On key pieces of legislation, including a revamp of financial rules and a rewrite of the No Child Left Behind education law, some Republicans are either explicitly on board or could soon be so.
The Obama administration's passage of a sweeping health-care revamp has scrambled Republicans' strategic calculations on Capitol Hill, forcing the GOP to decide whether to maintain its largely unified opposition to Democratic proposals.
