Health Care Reform Hits A Roadblock
It seems that critics to the Obama administration’s continued efforts in pushing health care reform are coming out of the woodwork. Several members from both the Senate and Congress are speaking out in favor of putting health care reform on the back burner. Even Democrat Chris Dodd, is saying today that taking a month off to regroup and come up with a better strategy may be the best thing to do.
In a report released today, Rasmussen reveals that 61% think it’s time to scrap the health care reform to focus more on job creation and ways to improve the economy. In the same survey, 70% of the voters said health care was an important issue leading to Scott Brown’s Senate victory in Massachusetts.
Today in Ohio, President Obama continued to focus on health care as one of the reasons that the US economy continues to lag, and that if we only had health care reform, then companies could start hiring again, and banks could start lending again. It was another bogeyman straw-man argument to shift the blame, but the bigger picture is that the White House still does not seem to have gotten the message that Americans do not want this health care bill. He is only continuing to hurt his image by pushing a bill that no one wants.
I’ve posted previously that you have to wonder what is really driving the Democrats to make health care the single most important issue for their party. In their “too big to fail” approach for everything, Democrats are putting their careers and party reputation on the line for one piece of legislation. For some reason, they consider it “too big to fail” no matter the real or political cost. You have to wonder what is really in this piece of legislation that makes it that important to them.
We are very lucky that they did not get this bill signed before the August recess. That break gave everyone enough time to understand some of the law that was incorporated into that particular bill and aroused the tempers and suspicions of the American people. Since then as more Americans have plugged into the dialogue, more has been discovered that makes it clear that this health care bill is the wrong bill, at the wrong time for America.
I saw this on HotAir.com and could not pass sharing it with readers of this blog.

I can’t believe “Rob” does not know why the dems have been treating this as their Holy Grail quest of a century.
Mark Steyn put it best in one of his columns and when he’s been subbing for Rush, i.e. like the EUroweenies, once Gov’t takes over healthcare, that’s the tipping point. Once Gov’t has the power of life-and-death over us peasants Gov’t will be in charge from then on and the Party of Gov’t–the dems–may face some short-term electoral pain–but they will soon find themselves in power in perpetuity.
I do understand why they want health care, and I agree with your reasoning. It is the holy grail for the progressive movement because then they can control everything and I think more and more Americans are beginning to understand.
We need to continue fighting this legislation with everything we’ve got. For the moment we are winning, but it’s far from over.

I was studying something else about this on another blog. Interesting. Your perspective on it is diametrically contradicted to what I read in the first place. I am still reflecting over the opposite points of view, but I’m inclined to a great extent toward yours. And irrespective, that’s what is so good about contemporary democracy and the marketplace of thoughts on-line.
