Why Not Do JUST This?

The Democrats working on the health care system destruction reform bill have apparently worked out a deal to make Medicare worse reform Medicare the same way they want to reform the rest of the system.

You know, the system Obama wants COMPLETELY overhauled NOW NOW NOW? Yeah, this proposal really gets the ball rolling immediately. Action would be taken no sooner than 2012.

If this is such a great idea, and since they already have controlling majorities in both houses, why not pass just this idea into a law? I mean, why not at least TRY piecemeal reforms?

Perhaps they are taking a cue from President Obama himself, who voted against every single health care reform bill during his one year vast experience as a Senator.
