In a blow to the bill grinding through the Senate, Howard Dean bluntly called for the bill to be killed in a pre-recorded interview set to air later this afternoon, denouncing it as “the collapse of health care reform in the United States Senate,” the reporter who conducted the interview tells me.

Dean said the removal of the Medicare buy-in made the bill not worth supporting, and urged Dem leaders to start over with the process of reconciliation in the interview, which is set to air at 5:50 PM today on Vermont Public Radio, political reporter Bob Kinzel confirms to me.

Markos Moulitsas yesterday said the same thing.

But our Disney Princess President wants a bill, any bill. Who are the Kos-a Nostras to deny it to him?

some do, some don’t. My guess the calculation today is that as long as there is no bill, they can run on healthcare.

I fear the process of reconciliation on the bill. Am I wrong to fear this?

Somewhere way in a backroom somewhere Bill Clinton is secretly pulling as many strings to help defeat the healthcare so that Obama is a 1 term President! He KNOWS what healthcare overhaul results brought his presidency - Clintons are NO supporters of Obama!

They will only kill this attempt in order to try again some other way - Dean mentioned “reconciliation.”

The Democrats will kill it and then blame its demise on Republicans.
