The voting has begun and, according to the reports, Democrats are going to get the 60 votes they need to keep the debate going on the healthcare bill. Call it both a big victory and a Pyrrhic victory. Big, because it keeps debate moving forward, keeps the possibility alive that we will have some level of reform; Pyrrhic, because the reform in question is likely only to have an incremental benefit while transferring a vast amount of cash from ordinary Americans into the pockets of the insurance industry.
