Reid’s Accomplishment

Including a Fannie Med ^[1] with a “state opt-out ^[2]” provision in the Senate Democrats’ health care bill accomplishes only this: it helps Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) survive as majority leader by appeasing his left wing. It doesn’t make it any more (or less) likely that Fannie Med will survive.
