President Obama indicated that he might be willing to scale back his proposed health care overhaul to a version without provision for near-universal insurance coverage. Speaker Pelosi says the House wants 'comprehensive reform' and (thankfully) won't pass the flawed Senate bill.
While Massachusetts enjoys the lowest percent of population without coverage (about 5%) and Texas enjoys the highest (about 25%), Californians now talk of reintroducing universal single payer legislation in order to eventually save money.
While White House officials and Democratic Congressional leaders still struggle to find a viable way forward for the health care bill, your blog-masters ask, "Where is the national leadership here"?
Everyone seems to agree that some reform is needed. But nobody needs a compromise for sellouts and lobbyists. What about true leadership, and what about a physician voice?

ReplyDeleteAgreed. With what occurred on Tuesday, everyone is floundering right now and there is no leadership. Great opportunity for someone to emerge as a leader with a powerful bipartisan plan.

ReplyDeleteWell we all know health care reform is needed
but as I said earlier one has to approach it without (interest in) personal gains. Even Obama does it with personal motive . Need (an) honest, openminded, and Unselfish person to take charge
do we have any one in congress or senate to fit these qualities
