This Post is going to be short and sweet and if you don't like it tough!.
The House should repair the Health Care Reform Bill - combine the the House and Senate bills - add the public option - include National Exchanges - remove insurance companies from anti-trust protection. In other words make it right and send it back to the Senate.
Next have the Senate use the Nuclear Option to change Senate Rules on the Filibuster. Senator Harkin's proposal would be perfectly fine. Pass the Bill. Then move forward and pass every Progressive proposal from Climate Change to Campaign Finance Reform. I mean Everything! When the Republicans whine as you know they will - Tell them Tough! Stick a sock in it! Dare them to win a majority and do the same thing. Have some BAllS!
