How the Democrats in Congress Can Win Back the American People

Just in case the Democrats in Congress are not aware: Americans are not happy that you are trying to cram a health care reform bill down our throats. Most Democrats do seem to be aware of the fact that the health care reform bill is very unpopular. They know that they are risking losing in the polls in November if they force their bill through Congress using an unpopular loophole.

However, just because the bill in it's entirety is unpopular, does not mean that the individual laws and regulations within the bill are unpopular. In fact many of the individual proposals in the bill are welcomed by the American public such as the one regarding pre existing conditions.

If Congress wants to win back the hearts and minds of the America public, all they need to do is pass the individual laws that the American people want. They should scrap the health care reform bill that is currently on the table and the one that Obama is proposing.

Congress can then write a new proposal that is simply based on all of the laws and regulations that the American people want to see in health care reform. This slimmed down version will be quite short and very palatable to the American people.

Congress would once again have the support of the American people which would make it very easy for them to pass the bill.

That being said, of course, they will not do it. Congress does not do what is right or what the American people want.

I predict that Congress will either pass Obama's new health care reform bill and anger so many Americans that they will lose many congressional seats in November OR they will pass nothing at all.

The Democrats in Congress simply do not seem to know how to do their job.

President Obama wants Health Care Reform No Matter What the Cost

How irresponsible to force a health care bill no matter what is in the bill. President Obama wants congress to pass the health care reform bill even if it will cost trillions of dollars, even if it will make health care worse for most Americans so that illegals and uninsured Americans can get crappy health care.

Everyone that has private health care right now through an employer or otherwise will have to pay more for their health care and get less in return as a result of this health care bill.

Why would any one want a public option for health care?

I know three people on the current public health care plan called Medicare.

Two of them can afford a supplemental health care plan such as Horizon to make their Medicare half way decent. The third person cannot and receives only what Medicare gives him.

The current Medicare system sucks. Why doesn't Obama fix what he already has control of? Why would Americans want a new health care system run by the government?

Obama's health care reform bill that just passed the house over the weekend but by the grace of God will not pass the senate, assumes that many companies will just pay the fine and not follow the rules. What a horrible assumption.

Obama's health care plan will cost the government, businesses and insurance companies trillions of dollars. That cost will trickle down to tax paying Americans in the form of new taxes, less insurance and higher co-payments and premiums.
