The incredible shrinking health care reform

According to Brian Beutler, Democratic Senators for and against the public option met last night.

"It was a good meeting, we're making progress," [Iowa Senator Tom] Harkin said. "There's two sides and there's a middle and that's where we're going to wind up."

It's very hard to feel these people are worth their keep.

For most of us, health care reform is about whether we'll be able to go to the doctor without spending our life savings, if any. For these guys, it's about kicking the can down the road until it is invisible. They make me sick, all of them.
