'The only time to kill a snake is before it comes out of the hole'

Here are some insights on the path of Obamacare.

Quote of the Day:

"People think this bill will do something to them rather than for them...” -- Rep. John Tanner (D-TN).

How right they are, Congressman.

More, regarding the final content of the bill:
".....Pelosi will rewrite the House bill before she puts it on the House floor. Now, who will she listen to? Mostly, herself.

As for those bewildered, assaulted, fearful health care industry lobbyists still sitting, almost silently, at the table hoping that Max Baucus saves them from being put “on the menu,” please consider that the House-Senate Conference Committee will write the only real bill. That process will be dominated by Pelosi, Waxman, George Miller, Kennedy (yes, from offstage), Dodd, Mikulski, Reid, Orszag, the Brothers Emanuel and Barack Obama."

I think they will have a little surprise awaiting them in the Senate if they don't lose the "public option" reform killer provision.
