The People Hate ObamaCare – Solution? Ram it Through!
Newsbusters.org
Reports are coming out that Democrats are planning to go it alone on ObamaCare. This essentially means that they will ram it through with their super majorities, even if over 50% of the population is ready for revolution if this nightmare gets past.
DrudgeReport and the New York Times piece on Mercury News are reporting…
Top Democrats said Tuesday that their go-it-alone view was being shaped by what they saw as Republicans’ purposely strident tone against health care legislation during this month’s congressional recess, as well as remarks by leading Republicans that current proposals were flawed beyond repair.
The White House spokesman, Robert Gibbs, said of Republican lawmakers, “Only a handful seem interested in the type of comprehensive reform that so many people believe is necessary to ensure the principles and the goals that the president has laid out.”
The Democratic shift may not make producing a final bill much easier. The party must still reconcile the views of moderate and conservative Democrats worried about the cost and scope of the legislation with those of more progressive lawmakers determined to win a government-run insurance option to compete with private insurers.
On the other hand, such a change could alter the dynamic of talks surrounding health care legislation, and even change the substance of a final bill. With no need to negotiate with Republicans, Democrats might be better able to focus their energy to move more quickly, relying on their large majorities in both houses. Democratic senators might feel more empowered, for example, to define the authority of the nonprofit insurance cooperatives that are emerging as an alternative to a public insurance plan.
It’s going to get ugly.
It is time for a unifying visual show of strength. We will hold these traitors accountable at the polls in 2010. We need to ramp up, build numbers and let our voices be heard!
The Tide is Turning!
