Administration Braces For Setbacks To Health Law

The Republicans never championed health care reform.

What do you think Bush's Medicare Reform Act of 2003 was?  All that this latest legislation is is Part 2 of Bush's Medicare Reform Act of 2003.

There is no doubt that Republicans are scvm.  None.  

But Democrats aren't any better.

You're mistaking words for action.  I don't give a chit what politicians say; the proof is in the pudding.  The proof is what they use actually mean, and we invariably learn what their words meant when we see how the legislation actually works.  With Obama's healthcare legislation, we're going to see it years from now.   And we're not going to see a public option or anything that's going to keep costs down.

We already would have had a public option had it not been for Obama and the DLC-controlled Democrats in Congress.  

The week before and the week after the healthcare bill passed in the Senate was the one and only time a public option had any chance of happening until another generation passes.

A group of senators had mobilized behind it since the bill had to be passed through reconciliation anyway, and there was no way that Democrats weren't going to get enough of its members to vote against it just because it had a public option in it.

Obama nixxed it.

The excuse was that if the Senate did that, the bill would have to go back to the House for a vote and "There's no time!"

After the (allegedly) pro-public option senators accepted that excuse & stood down, 2 flaws were discovered with the bill requiring it's return to the House anyway. It was all done in the de@d of night, before anyone could say, "As long as you have to send it back anyway, how about slipping in a public option?"  

Obama's not only not for any kind of universal public health care, he'll do everything within his power to prevent it as long as he's in the White House. Because that was the deal that he made.

With regard to your own personal circumstances, there are so many different ways that your son could have had coverage, without your job depending on it.  What happens if you lose your job?  What happens when your insurance company raises your rates, your co-pays, your deductibles, because of your preexisting condition?
