This may be the key sentence in the
Democrats have been unwilling to alter the legislation without a guarantee that it would bring Republican votes.That would imply that the Democrats have learned something from the process of passing health care reform. It could be that McConnell is feeling the blowback from his and Cornyn's little pandering trip to Wall Street. (H/T)
But given the Senate Democrats' long track record of spinelessness, I am not too optimistic that a deal will happen. The party of Hoover has a very long track record of doing the bidding of the banksters and I don't see that changing anytime soon.
I just want to savor that sentence for a while.

I'll savor it, and roll it around in my mind, and enjoy a lovely fantasy that it's true... before I click the link.
Maybe... maybe I won't say "Oh yeah, it's the Democrats. All they need is one Rethug to say boo, and they'll cave."
Given how thoroughly they screwed us with the HC"R" bill, I'd say the prospect of a deal is anything but reassuring.
