On The "TV Event" As Bipartisanship, or, How the Super Bowl Helps Kill Health Care Reform
It's kind of hard to "throw off" bipartisanship that was never really there - like LondonLee said (what Ezra Klein said), republicans were never going to vote for the senate bill (which contains virtually everything they want and which excludes major things that liberals want, like the public option) because they've always thought it's more politically profitable not to. The point of this upcoming thingy is to call their bluff, highlight all the substantively bipartisan content of the existing bills (mostly the senate bill) and, as others have phrased it, set up the endgame in which a modified senate bill could pass the house. And to, if we're lucky, point out glaring hypocrisies such as the republican alternative "health care reform" proposal's reliance on privatization of and major, indiscriminate cuts to Medicare, after months of their blabbering about how removing subsidies for private insurers in Medicare = death panels. Fun times!
