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.

Probably good but definitely against American principles.

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.
