"One does not use an elephant gun to remove a fly": while the reform may be important, it is not such a crucial issue to their platform that they must use every method and way at their disposal to get it through, if they can probbaly do so better by simple lobbying and debate.
Yes. I think, generally, Democrats, as a party, would like reform, but I am sure there are individuals who may not. Just as a number of Republicans I know would like reform as well, but the Republicans, as a party, does not seem to be in it as much.
The Republic Party is strongly against the new health reform laws in the US. Every other party in the US is against the new health reform, except the Democrats.

Health care reform is a method where the entire industry is nationalized. This U.S. reform is but a small step in that direction but since Democrats GENERALLY promote more government control, they follow their party's stance. Universal Health care results in more taxes, BUT allows more equality amongst health care which is the second most important service behind education. It is quiet outrageous that United States STILL doesn't have universal healthcare even though it is the last 1st world country not to do so.
Democrats typically are vague on their plans with education. Like all politicians (republican, green, and democrats alike) there is constant call of education reform. What that reform is specifically and how it will be paid for, we usually don't ever get an answer from any of them. Traditionally democrats have favored strengthening the arbitrary U.S. Department of Education more than their republican counterparts.
health care reform
It will costs more than we actually have. With that being said, although it's a solution to the current healthcare crisis, it will increase the severity of the debt crisis.
Obama is taking 700 billion out of medicare to help pay for Obamacare. The Democrats and the press will say nothing about that. So who is throwing grandma over the cliff.
Health Care Reform is a social tax, will it work?
Obama is the president that proposed the health care reform and implemented it.
~2. Give or take.
The previous person in that seat, Ted Kennedy, was a huge supporter of health care reform. With out Ted Kennedy in that seat or at least a major supporter of the health care bill it is likely the bill will not pass because the democrats will no longer have the support they need.
