Much has been said about Obama’s hurried, we-must-do-it-now approach to health care reform. I don’t want the rush, and further, I think rushing through this is a really good way to ensure we end up with some really bad policy.
Now CNN’s Dana Bash is reporting that Harry Reid said there will be no Senate vote until after August on health care.
But, from Ohio, Ed Henry reports that a “senior administration official” said Reid’s comment does not change the president’s plans: He still wants votes in both houses before August recess.

Update: Mr. Crum just called me and said he thinks Harry Reid’s statement was made with one eye on the polls and one on Reid’s 2010 senatorial campaign. If a bill is rushed through and things don’t end well, Reid can say he tried to slow things down. If things do turn out well, he can still point to how cautious he was.
