Senator Dick Durbin of Illinois is the Democrats’ Number Two guy in the Senate; and if Harry Reid goes down to defeat as many expect, he will be Number One. As Majority Whip and one of President Barak Obama’s most vocal supporters, Durbin was also a leading exponent of Obamacare. We might wonder, however, if he would hold the same position if he did not have the “special” health care policies he and his colleagues will continue to enjoy while we are left with their gift of Obamacare.
