SO IT'S ONLY FISCALLY IRRESPONSIBLE DEMOCRATS WHO SUPPORT THE REFORM?:

Obama Faces Friction Among House Democrats Over Health Plan (Kristin Jensen and Laura Litvan, 3/01/10, Bloomberg)

President Barack Obama, taking charge of health-care legislation, is facing resistance from lawmakers in his own Democratic Party over the prospect of pushing the bill through Congress. [...]

“It looks like we’re trying to cram something through,” said Representative Baron Hill, an Indiana Democrat who voted for the original House bill.

Hill said he might not back a measure if it goes through reconciliation, which is intended for budget matters. A “sizeable number” of the 54 fiscally conservative Democrats who call themselves Blue Dogs are also concerned, said South Dakota Representative Stephanie Herseth Sandlin.
