Two articles today, one from a supporter of Barack Obama and one from an opponent, both warn that just because the Treasury and the Federal Reserve are pouring trillions into the financial markets, and Obama has plans for a half trillion or larger fiscal stimulus package, does not mean that health care reform will remain on the back burner. 

Jeff Goldsmith of the Health Care Blog  and Tony Blankley of the Washington Times both believe that Obama may well strike while iron is hot -- when his public approval is highest, and seek the major transformation of the health care system that eluded Bill Clinton.
