Listen to the NYT - Health Care Reform

The New York Times: Reports on the problems that the liberal House leadership will have in getting Health Care Reform through the House of Representatives, the NYT states the following on the voting blocks that are needed, " abortion opponents and fiscal conservatives....." As the article notes it comes down to basic politics, the article states the following, " politicians do not want to be martyrs. They want to hold onto their seats. ".
