Health care reform a fait accompli?

Interesting under-the-radar tidbit from Chait over at The Treatment, channeling a Roll Call piece:

A month ago I wrote that it’s nearly impossible to see health care reform failing because it would entail a Democrat voting to filibuster the central progressive goal of the last sixty years. That proposition was looking shaky for a while because there were some Democratic Senators who acted as if they actually wanted to kill health care reform. (Hi, Senator Conrad.) But they’re all now pretty clearly acting like they really want to pass something.

It’s very strange. We’ve had months of sturm and drang, and massive attention focused on the question, Whither health care reform? It’s just quietly turned into a fait accompli.

I was beginning to wonder if the Dems were aware they have a 60-senator majority.

(Incidentally, fait accompli was my favorite italicized phrase to insert in history papers in college. Hotfoot, you know what I'm talking about. The A, of course, was always a fait accompli.)
