Ron Radosh on December 19: "So the bill looks like it will pass—a bill that will change the country’s health system in profound ways, and that was done without one single Republican vote.  It is the opposite of bi-partisanship, that should be necessary when such a major change is presented. Instead, the Democrats have rammed it down the country’s throat, refusing to wait until after the holidays, when everyone- including Republican senators and congressmen-have a chance to read the entire 2000 pages and digest it thoroughly."
