If they just pass a smaller bill that focuses on things we all agree on they would have got it through the system easily and they could have done some actual good. Then they could give it a few years to work and see how it is doing. If they then felt it needed more they could go back and try to fix it and add to it as needed.

They had the change to build a really nice house. Instead they decided that they wanted to build a skyscraper and it seems they ran out of materials halfway through the build.
Also, you forget about the economic crisis. What Obama and Bernanke are doing makes Bush seem like an angel. The astronomical deficit spending that's destroying our economy is perhaps the main or the 2nd reason the Dems are screwed come November. They've mishandled virtually everything they were responsible for.


Edit: Apparently there's a vote tally for the health care bill. Thus far it's 217-214 for No.
