Health Bill Advances

Obama gave that "nothing" speech yesterday and has the same thing scheduled for next Wednesday. He must figure he can twist enough Dem Arms in Congress to get the bill though on a partisan basis. Even he must know he is not saying anything that changes minds.

I just don't think he can fly it. Not after the reaction his minions have got from their voters on the Cap and Trade disaster. Why should Dem Congressmen vote for another bill they can't get though the Senate?

WASHINGTON — Three of the five Congressional committees working on legislation to reinvent the nation’s health care system delivered bills this week along the lines proposed by President Obama. But instead of celebrating their success, many Democrats were apprehensive, nervous and defensive.
nytimes.com;

Plenty of Republicans are nervous too.

An old Army saying goes like this: "Nothing is too good for the troops and that is what they get."
We need to change that. Let's demand our politicians fix their own health care program first.

Our politicians at national level, and their families, enjoy the most robust and generous health care plan imaginable.
And it is all FREE!!!
It is free to them, but paid for by us.

It is time for our leaders to lead from the front.

If they truly want to save money on health care; if they truly want to expand coverage to all, let them reinvent their own health care plan first. When their own program is fixed to their satisfaction, let them then, and only then, offer all of us whatever they took for themselves.

In a letter to the House speaker, Nancy Pelosi, Mr. Polis and 20 other freshman Democrats said they were “extremely concerned that the proposed method of paying for health care reform will negatively impact small businesses, the backbone of the American economy.”

If it even scares Pelosi, you can be sure it would be a nail in our economic coffin.
