+50 Obama's health care reform is a good thing, amirite?

Probably good but definitely against American principles.

If it's so good, then why won't the Congressmen have it?

The congressmen's campaign funds are funded by the companies it's bad for.

And/or the congressmen's constituents don't like Obama, so they don't like anything he says on principle. That's politics, baby.

I still don't know if I'm for or against the original post. Obama's reform was definitely necessary but now I wonder if there have been so many concessions (with a supermajority, no less) that I'm concerned that the HCR will break the current system but not have anything effective to replace it with.

As someone living in a country where universal care works very well (despite its kinks), I'm obviously biased towards the U.S. adopting a similar system. It probably wouldn't work out if installed just like that, but I think the man's onto something, even if it's more of a halfway point to the better picture.
