A re-write from my perspective: The simple truth is that Reid did what much of wise Washington knew was possible: taking a well-meaning executive policy idea and using it to shake down the targeted industry for campaign contributions, all while drafting legislation that guarantees future profits for that industry by forcing all Americans to purchase a policy from it: the most far-reaching exercise of extraconstitutional authority by the federal government since the Bush administration.
Bravo, Harry. Bravo.
