Not Quite Hollow Victory

All through the 2008 primary season, competing health care reform plans occupied the center of the debates. Clinton, Obama and Edwards each advanced a plan and argued its merits: mandates vs no mandates, public option, etc. In the end, Obama was the nominee and won a decisive victory in the presidential election. Democrats won still more decisive majorities in both houses of congress.

So, tonight . . . what does the nation have to show for it?

Tonight Congress will pass the Mitt Romney health care reform plan.
