Healthcare Reform, Up or Down? Deeming or Redeeming?

Hosted by , , and
What does it mean to the left if the healthcare reform bill passes the House this weekend? (Bob likens the bill to losing his virginity.) And what is this "deeming" procedure anyway? Is it worth risking a Constitutional challenge? A little bit about financial reform and what is a principled position – plus the contention that liberals will always pass a Democratic bill, no matter what. (Lawrence O'Donnell sits in for Matt Miller.)

A little bit about financial reform and what is a principled position – plus the contention that liberals will always pass a Democratic bill, no matter what. (Lawrence O'Donnell sits in for Matt Miller.)
