Kucinich caves

AP: Rep. Kucinich switches to 'yes' on health care

He's struck me as being less principled than Ron Paul, with whom he is compared. While he may pose as a progressive, how does he counter the argument put forth by critics of the health care bill that it does nothing to reform the system, but only increases the power of insurance companies? That's supposed to be the solution to making health care available for everyone, by mandating that everyone who can afford it buy insurance? It is only pragmatism if it it is a true means to the state end that is desired. If not, then it is something else entirely.
