Gibbs: Health Care Reform Will Be “Law of the Land” Next Week

It is about time. Even though progressive sacrificed a tremendous amount in this health care reform legislation, and even though it most closely resembles the 1993 Republican alternative to “Hillarycare,” on balance I still believe this represents progress for America. I also believe this will give Democrats a boost heading into November. Up until now, Democrats have gotten all the “negatives” of debating health care reform, including a constant stream of Big Lies by the Republicans, while simultaneously looking weak for not seeing this become law. Once this thing actually is signed by President Obama, the entire dynamic should change, and hopefully “the base” will start getting excited again and close the “enthusiasm gap” with Republicans for this fall. At least, that’s the theory! 🙂
