8. Obama Wants Reform.....
...but there are over 300 Democrats in Congress, nearly all of whom have different ideas on how to go about reforming the insurance system. I'm certain that Obama wants a public option, but he's most likely accepted that there just isn't enough votes in both the House and Senate to get one. Given that, he is going to have to make some concessions if he wants to be able to sign a bill and avoid suffering a humiliating defeat on this issue as Clinton did in '94.

Guys, reports are that this "compromise" being worked out between Obama and Sen. Snowe will prohibit insurance companies from denying coverage to anyone with "pre-existing" conditions. MY GOD, IS THAT NOT WORTH HAVING???
