Party-Line Health Care Reform Bill Gets Out of Committee

BREAKINGSenate Committee Passes Health Care Reform Bill on Party-Line Vote

To the point about party-line successes:

President Barack Obama may rely only on Democrats to push health-care legislation through the U.S. Congress if Republican opposition doesn’t yield soon, two of the president’s top advisers said.

“Ultimately, this is not about a process, it’s about results,” David Axelrod, Obama’s senior political strategist, said during an interview in his White House office. …

Political reality is the mother of invention, which is to say that Republicans don’t want Obama to be successful, particularly on health care reform.

One Roosevelt was enough.

Having a Democratic president put into action health care gives another foundational defeat for Republicans, once again taking them out of the historic changes in this country that make the lives of ordinary people better.
