Why the rush? - NYPOST.com: "Last week, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) announced that he was working on yet another version of health reform, incorporating tweaks such as a huge expansion of Medicare, a brand-new version of the so-called 'public option' based on the Federal Employees Health Benefit Program plus a possible increase in Medicaid eligibility.
Reid's latest vision not only hasn't been debated or scored by the Congressional Budget Office, no one except Sen. Reid even knows for certain what's in it. Even so, Sen. Reid says the Senate must vote on this new package before Christmas."
In, fact Reid promises he'll do "whatever it takes to get this bill past the Senate in December." His chief lieutenant, Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), who admits that he's "in the dark" about what's in Reid's plan, nevertheless says the proposal "must" pass this year: "We have to do it." President Obama insists that he expects a bill to pass next week.
