I don't really care for the point at which the health care reform started but it had to start somewhere and it needs to continue. Stop all the senseless bickering and start working toward some of the other points people wanted to see (tort reform/interstate insurance offerings/etc.). Bridge the gap and I think you'll see people calm down and stop throwing bricks through windows.

Considering this bill is in many ways identical to the republican proposals of the 90s and the proposals that Romney ran on in 08, I'd say it is pretty moderate. In fact, between 1/3 and 1/4 of the opposition to this bill comes from the left who thinks this doesn't go far enough.
