Pass the Bill

After listening to Democratic Senators like Tom Harkin and Bernie Sanders, I'm persuaded that the Senate needs to pass this health care reform bill, saving the advances that it makes, and using it as a foundation for further reforms down the road.

I appreciate the sense of betrayal that some progressives have, but at this point, this is probably the reasonable way forward.  The fact that the Republicans are dead-set against the bill makes me even more sure of this.
