I think a shorter version of the Pareene piece below is that this is a great opportunity for liberals to make the case for liberal health care reform. Our horrible medical system rarely gets much coverage because free market and isn't it adorable when people have bake sales to pay for their daughter's cancer treatment. But now it's a political issue and it will get coverage. As I've been saying for years, Obama owns the whole medical system now. It's a good time to advocate for improvements.
