Between the dcotors, hospitals, lawyers, insurance companies, drug companies and medical equipment companies, not everyone can be happy. There are too many people that need to be satisfied and Obama will not be able to even remotely satisfy all these people. This will be the reason for the implosion of health care reform....not in-party bickering.

They help to make the president's plan seem moderate by comparision, which is always a desirable political label. Every politician does this. If the political extremes are against you, then your plan must be about right. It's hard to say if these liberals are truly principled or are stealth Obamians. www.MDWhistleblower.blogspot.com Let’s remember that these liberals are performing a useful function for Obama, perhaps at the request of his administration.
