Yep...
Pretty much sums it up. IMHO, it is all just a 10 or 15 year patch (starting from today even if most if it kicks in down the road) and some of the problems may get even worse while we wait for things to kick in.

I think that you're tuned into some of the same groups I am
There's quite intense dissatisfaction with some of the stuff that went down to make HCR happen, this way.
The White House deals that preempted the PO (not even considering SP) made lot of angry progressives, enough that my understanding of Hamsher's deal with the devil, almost wants to sanction the co-signed letter with Norquist.
But I sure hope that the existing momentum is not allowed to diffuse into "the historic moment." That's what the corporates would be so happy to see, 'we're done, next job please!'.

As improtant as some of the things that passed are
to a lot of people, this whole deal will pale in a historical context when compared to the deal that actually fixes all of the problems with healthcare. This is is a big deal but it is no New Deal.
