As Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) contemplates how much power Olympia Snowe (R-ME) should have handed to her so he can pretend he has a bipartisan health care reform bill, perhaps he could take a moment to consider her stated approach on the issue:
I’m traditional in my approach towards reforming health care.
Yes, that's just what we need -- a traditional approach on the issue that has eluded reform for more than forty years.
Instead, perhaps he could consider fighting for what the American people want rather than the heath care reform tradition of kowtowing to the insurance industry. For a change.
