Opening Bid

The games afoot! The White House unveiled its health care reform proposal this morning, posting it online in advance of Thursday's bipartisan summit. Here's the 11-page blueprint (pdf) of what President Obama has in mind, and here's the shorter overview. It is going to very interesting to watch this play out. Right now the GOP is on the defensive over their hypocrisy on the stimulus and were even called out by the Governator over the weekend. The White House is calling this the 'opening bid' on what to do next on health care reform and as a starting point for the discussions on Thursday. What will the GOP do to try and spin the fact that they have no workable ideas on reforming health care but insist that the Dems start over after a year of work.
Make sure you have plenty of popcorn handy.
