*** UPDATE ***
White House Draws Line in the Sand according to HuffPo. But, what line is this? It is a line that says the President will oppose any bill that taxes those making under $250,000 for Health Care Reform. That's right, the only line the President has drawn is not over something positive, like a public option, but over a negative - something that won't happen, like taxing the majority of Americans for Health Care that Obama has said was a right. Thanks a lot, buddy. This sounds like yet another sellout to Republicans. Next you'll be hearing the White House say, "well, we never said we'd be taxing those making OVER $250,000 either..." This is not the way to reframe the debate. First, establish what health care reform MUST have, THEN figure out how to pay for it, or maybe at the same time, but this is ridiculous. Pretty soon, they'll be talking about what health care they'll leave us with, instead of how to get health care to those who don't have it and improving it for those who do.
