Ok, I might be wrong

Based on the comments that Ed Stein made on his blog, I wonder what I am not seeing in this whole healthcare bill that he does. While my immediate impression was "C***, I am screwed," the fact that Ed Stein seems to think that perhaps that healthcare bill passing is a good thing makes me curious. After all, Ed has been doing this for years, and knows much more about politics than I do. If nothing else, I will admit that he is right that the Republicans seem to be only concerned about regaining the control of the government and nothing else.
