I like Michael Tomasky's optimism that Us healthcare reform will pass. But with what? He failed to inform us that the Baucus bill is the only one of five House and HELP (Harkin) bills that doesn't have the Public Option, and failed to inform the reader that Senator Snowe maybe a 'buy-in,' and sided with the Democrats on the committee to make the bill look like a bipartisan bill.
