We're looking forward to President Obama talking about health care reform tonight, and we expect to be able to say the issue's no longer if we're doing health care but how we're doing health care - meaning what kind of health care reform we're going to get. Do we keep letting private health insurance companies dominate the landscape and operate to minimize coverage and maximize profit, or do we create a new public health insurance option that forces private insurance to compete, controls costs, and guarantees quality?
Assuming the speech goes as expected, this is also where the game changes and the make-nice coalitions start to bicker about the details.
Game on.
