Thoughts on the passage of the health care bill?

[Anonymous]

You may want to keep some of the “tea Baggers ” here to help you pay for our new bill. Keep in mind Obama ran his campaign on change- and much like the previous presidents all he done is change how much and where our taxes will go.

You didn’t win anything except- well more new taxes-unless of course you’re not working- then you’re right you’ve won free health-insurance.

Like you, I’m pleased that it passed. But this is far from historic legislation. It is filled with ideas supported and proposed by every Republican president since Nixon. That certainly doesn’t make it bad, it’s simply less than historic. It is not a progressive bill. When insurance doesn’t cover all of women’s parts, it cannot be progressive. Hopefully, as you say, it is a step in the right direction.[/quote]

So why did ALL of the GOP in congress oppose it?

Because the GOP has moved to extreme right of Nixon who proposed a similar plan.

Is that a serious question? The party of NO. Had they been serious about health care reform there would have been logical discussion instead of fallacious claims about the content of the proposals. (six months ago there was a list posted here, supposedly written by a republican constitutional lawyer, of close to a 100 bad things in the original house bill. I read the entire bill. I posted a response to each one. 98% of them were out and out falsehoods. Death panels. Free coverage for undocumented aliens. Funding for ACORN health clinics. The other 2% were either partially true or accurate but absurd complaints.)

They made a mistake. As a party they believed that politically, an Obama failure meant a Republican victory. This time, hyper-partisanship did not work. They failed. They were wrong.
