What a difference having the president in the country makes.
After a tumultuous and uneven week last week this week has been a major perhaps historic step forward on healthcare reform.
Two bills have advanced this week to the general assembly in each chamber of Congress.

There have been numerous developments on the healthcare reform front since congress has returned from July 4th recess. The biggest development is that the Democrats now have a so called "super majority" since they now have 60 seats in the Senate thanks to the addition of progressive Senator Al Franken of Minnesota.
