		<description><![CDATA[You know that old saying about how even bad PR is good PR? Well, The Nation has a pretty decent argument for its validity. Seems like the more Republicans turn up their messages about the recently passed legislation, the more they&#8217;re turning off listeners to their arguments. November will be interesting. That&#8217;s for sure.

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[We don&#8217;t like the phrase, &#8220;It&#8217;s now or never,&#8221; especially when it comes to the health reform battle. If legislation doesn&#8217;t succeed now, it doesn&#8217;t mean the nation&#8217;s health care system can never be improved.
Even with a complete failure by the Democrats, the system could conceivably gradually evolve into something better over time with incremental [...]]]></description>

If you asked opponents of health reform, they&#8217;d surely tell you that – like the failed health reform efforts of 1994 – the current Democratic proposals  never [...]]]></description>

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>
