Health Care Reform Breakthrough?

As the "gang of six" prepares to meet with President Obama this morning, it appears they are really getting closer to a bipartisan deal on health care reform.

The Washington Post reports the emerging deal "would shave about $100 billion off the projected trillion-dollar cost of the legislation over the next decade and eventually provide coverage to 94 percent of Americans... It would expand Medicaid, crack down on insurers, abandon the government insurance option that President Obama is seeking and, for the first time, tax health-care benefits under the most generous plans."
