		<description><![CDATA[An interesting poll surfaced yesterday, revealing that – in the days since health reform legislation was passed by the U.S. House of Representatives and signed into law by President Obama – more Americans have taken a favorable view of the legislation than they did before the vote.
Nearly 50 percent of those polled now say the [...]]]></description>

Fifty-five thousand Americans die every year because of lack of health insurance coverage. Those are deaths that no longer [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Throughout the health care debate, it&#8217;s been fascinating to watch opposition responses to each bit of reform-related news. The complete inability of opponents of Democratic reform proposals to see anything positive in the legislation has been simply stunning.
How determined were opponents of reform?
Determined enough to threaten that legislation promising free assistance to those who might [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s a lot of debate today over what President Obama was saying to his supporters last night when he described what he thinks needs to happen with the health reform legislation from here on in.
The point he made that seems to be drawing the most speculation is this passage:

But here&#8217;s the thing: If the Democrats had barely eked out a win, opponents would have said the [...]]]></description>

Jonathan Cohn of the New Republic said today what a lot of liberals have been saying about the Senate bill. Basically, it&#8217;s been stretched and pulled like a gob of saltwater taffy as it morphed into something barely acceptable to barely enough Democrats, but also largely disappointing to a large contingent of other liberals (and [...]]]></description>

Anyone who thought passage of a health reform bill in 2009 would be easy, given the Democratic majority in Congress, was deluded. To think that all of Congressional Democrats – and the Independents they court – would vote in lock step was just plain fantasy.
But even Democrats who knew reform legislation would be all about [...]]]></description>
