Killing the Health Care Bill

Ben Nelson from Nebraska has worked out a compromise that the extremes on either side do not like.  This is a way to kill health care reform and protect President Obama from further political damage.  Remember what happened to immigration reform four years ago?  Many are calling for the Senate to start over.

There is urgency to get something done before the end of the year.  January 1 begins and election year and members of both houses of congress that are up for re-election do not want something this controversial standing in the way of their re-election chances.  In order to get something passed by December 31, congress will have to work around the clock.

I encourage my readers to contact their representative in the House and both of their senators and let their feelings be known.
