Is this the high-water mark for ObamaCare?

(Blog Post) The Democrats wheedled, cajoled, begged, and finally abandoned its defense of abortion — truly a watershed moment — in order to get their version of ObamaCare passed … in the House of Representatives, where they enjoy a 75-seat majority.

Interesting opinion about the House's recently passed health care bill, from a conservative perspective. The author does his best to present the Democratic concessions as a sign of weakness, but it comes out sounding like sour grapes, in light of their victory. This blog post provides useful context and factual information about the challenges facing Democrats in passing the Senate bill. But the tone of the commentary is so partisan and set against "the runaway tyranny of the Democratic agenda" - that it loses credibility in my eyes.

It was an interesting piece on the senate and voting but it felt a little l=clouded by personal opinion. It seemed like the real story was held back by what was personally thought of about the issue.

Some points I agree with here but I am still confused to the situation happening. In terms of content the average reader unless following religiously will not understand what is happening with this news which obviously has more to it.
