The Blue Dog Democrats have supposedly reached a deal with Henry Waxman and have climbed aboard a health care reform bill.

Waxman's Energy and Commerce Committee is of course only one hurdle that the legislation has to hurdle, but it is the last one, so it's even possible that the House will push through some version of a bill before the August recess.

Then the members of Congress will have plenty of time to peruse the bill during their junkets and vacations.

Not that they really will, but if they are that committed they should also take along a copy of James Kwak's "One Big Problem with Private Health Insurance," from the Baseline Scenario.
