for passage in the U.S. Senate and U.S.House of health care insurance
reform bills, *despite* the never-ending efforts of the Republicans to
sink that ship.

Health care insurance reform is the worst fear of the Republicans.

Now the bills must be reconciled, and they will be, and President Obama
will sign the results. After that, steady improvements to the bill
signed into law.

And for the Republicans...grief, one hopes.
