Summary: Cenk explains why it's a good thing that there is absolutely no Republican support for Senator Max Bacaus' healthcare bill. Basically it's because the bill is terrible and just a big giveaway to the private insurance industry. But now that there's no Republican support, there is no (good) reason to try and pass a bill with no public option, no ability to negotiate with Big Pharma, etc. It puts tremendous pressure on reluctant Dems to have to vote for a better bill, especially since some good Dems have put their foot down by demanding a better bill.

4. K& R #5 They have no excuse not to pass a REAL health care bill.

If they don't pass a real bill that actually helps the people we be very screwed.

5. Amen for Cenk showing us light at the end of the tunnel. A mighty +1...

It's pretty clear for Reid, no compromises the Ted Kennedy version out of the senate.

12. That's true though, I think the republicans may have misplayed this!

Absolutely no one to have to keep on board!!!

13. K&R

Though I don't think it is much a surprise that republicans, to a one, won't vote for anything Democratic. They would lose the majority of their base, the lunatic fringe. I doubt the old money interests would go anywhere, but even with both intact they don't have the numbers.

15. Open note to Harry Reid

I am from Nevada and you know my family (Thornley) I worked
for you from the time you ran for Governor. You can not pass
a bill that has no restriction from pre-existing conditions
and no public option and a mandate to buy insurance. If you
do I promise that my family will do every thing in their
power to unseat you. That is not a threat it is a promise.
