Pick of the Day: A health reform story you can actually read

Let’s face it, the health care debate has been a little hard to follow at times. The day-to-day increments—“shell bills,” “deem and pass,” "reconciliation”—has been a tad numbing to those who aren’t riveted by the minutiae of the legislative procedure.
