I just received a list email from Repower America (a group started by Al Gore) that said climate change should be the next reform, after health care. Or, as they put it, "We Got Next."
I guess a lot of people are standing in line now that health care passed: Immigrations reform, Banking reform, and Climate Change, come to mind.
Of course, this will all depend on whether Americans embrace the health care reform. If they do, they'll have the stomach for taking on a new legislative fight. So, President Obama and legislators will likely spend the next few months campaigning to win hearts on health care (and votes in November). Whoever "Got Next" will have to wait. That's my opinion. What's yours?
