TPMDC:

The drumbeat started early in the process - no matter what the final health care bill looks like when it reaches President Obama's desk, it will do more for Americans than ever before. [. . .] Leadership and the White House want a bill, and the message machine will be cranking up into high gear to push the historic nature of the legislation's basics.

White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs [. . .] - and Peter Orszag, and Nancy-Ann DeParle, and on - tell reporters and voters to "keep in mind" that once the legislation is passed more than 30 million people who never had health care will have it [. . .]

What they DO NOT say - that the 30 million people getting insurance do not get it because of the Mandate, or the Exchange, or the Excise Tax. What they do not seem to get is that they will NEVER get 60 votes in the Senate for their "health care reform." Strip down the bill for reconciliation and we can insure 30 million Americans. Stick to selling the capitulation - and Obama and his Village Blogger pom pom waving cheerleaders will end up with nothing.
