Pelosi: ‘Once we kick through this door,’ more reform will follow

Just the beginning. They've been saying we'll never end up with a single payer system, and that this is a necessary and rare measure, because the market will collapse if we don't pass this. Really? That's all, or is it a massive power grab.

If you have any doubt that the Democratic leadership of the House views passing the current health care reform bill as the beginning, not the end, of the process of creating a national government health care system, just note what Speaker Nancy Pelosi told a group of bloggers on Monday. “My biggest fight has been between those who wanted to do something incremental and those who wanted to do something comprehensive,” Pelosi said, according to an account by Washington Post reform advocate Ezra Klein. “We won that fight, and once we kick through this door, there’ll be more legislation to follow.”
