A look at key issues in the health care debate:
THE ISSUE: Why can't President Barack Obama and congressional Democrats
wait until after the recession is over to try to reform health care?
THE POLITICS: The recession is likely to take years to abate, but the 2010
midterm elections aren't far off. Obama and the Democrats who control
Congress campaigned last year on a promise to extend health insurance to
all and to curb the cost of care. By the next Election Day, the party in
control wants a hefty list of accomplishments to point to, topped by
having passed the most sweeping social change in a generation. There is no
pocketbook issue more compelling than health care reform. It is intensely
personal because it affects the health and financial welfare of voters and
their families. Democrats are counting on the passage of health care
overhaul to fuel optimism and persuade voters to keep them in power.
Republicans are working hard to raise doubts about the emerging
legislation — how it might add to an already huge federal budget deficit,
increase insurance premiums or increase taxes.
WHAT IT MEANS: Obama's name won't be on the ballot next year, but his
credibility as an effective leader rests substantially on whether he can
deliver on his signature promise. Members of Congress, whose names will be
on the ballot, will have to decide where their political fortunes lie in
the debate.

This is great...
The idiot fucking republicans who caused the depression
that we are in, want Obama to wait until it's over before he
does anything.
You idiots sure didn't have any problem with George Bush
finding new shit to fuck up before he fixed anything that he
had already fucked up.
I just love it when idiots who have already said they want
Obama to fail... give him advice. |
