Finish Health Care

It's time for the Congress to finally finish health care. Both houses have passed the bill. Democratic leadership needs to write up the few amendments needed to reconcile the budgetary aspects of the bill, and get on with it. Budget reconciliation is a fairly common procedure in the Senate (see COBRA, welfare reform, Medicare prescription drug benefit, S-CHIP, and the Bush tax cuts, to name a few) and it is high time they used this procedure to reconcile the two health insurance bills. Here is a video of Warren Buffett calling the current health care system a tape worm in the economy.
