US Health Care Bill - an encore act from Republicans
America's Republicans are barking at the wind, and they stand to lose for it.
Date: 3/28/2010 12:54:21 PM ( 14 y ) ... viewed 2210 times The Republicans are still going on about "armeggedon" and "socialism" while Obama and the Dems move ahead with explaining the details of the health care reform bill, and even moving on to other issues.
It seems that the train has left the station, and the Republicans and Tea Partiers are left standing on the platform of small government at a time when SOME government is badly needed to reign in the abuses of health care corporations.
Which is worse? - canceling your insurance on the basis of needing to use it, or some unproven fear-based idea about "government taking over every detail of your life"? Obviously, for individual Americans who will no longer face death and bankruptcy over a treatable illness [to say nothing about the loss for their family], this health care bill is a good thing.
So it has come down to some undefined big picture fear-based one-liners from the Republicans and Tea Partiers, and appealing to people who allready agree with them, but they are not getting any new recruits. Obama's Democrats are moving ahead.
Their motivations are being exposed as their rhetoric fails to meet the tests of validity. Republican support will drop in the November elections as Americans, even current Republicans, start to see that the main losers in this health care reform are the abusive health insurance corporations, and that Republican leaders are beholden to those corporations because they get so much financial support from them at election time. The US health care lobby has spend more on lobbying against this bill than any lobby ever - why isn't that in the news??
And who were those lobbyists influencing? The ones who voted against this bill. Their motivations are financial. There is no federal funding of abortions, by the way, so that isn't the reason they voted against it.
If reason prevails, Democrats will come out ahead in November elections and Obama will be seen as a hero for being courageous enough to do health care reform. The Democratic Party will be much stronger, and the Republicans will be seen as the party of baseless fear mongering, as the Presidency of G.W. Bush so eagerly embraced.
