No Medicare Buy-In After All?

So Lieberman said he'd filibuster it and the Senate Dems are in caucus now and Harkin wants a bill revived to restrict filibustering and reading all this all day, I'm going to go out on a limb and say they'll pass what they can, go to conference with the House and try to pull something together breaking kneecaps in the interim.
We'll have a health care reform bill in the Senate before Christmas, but we won't like it.
We'll have a health care reform bill from the conference, and I don't know what it will look like.
Reconciliation? Podesta made those noises today, but I'm really, really doubtful.
Try to look on the bright side. Social Security was awful when they first passed it, too.
It got better over time.
I'm gonna go find Shorty's Frisbee.
