I hope our representivies in Washington D C decide to vote with the bipartisan majority regarding healthcare.
President has recently been complaining about a lack of agreement between the two ruling political parties. But I think he is mistaken. There is agreement by both the Democrats and Republicans that they will not vote for the current Healthcare bills in Congress. Isn’t that a bipartisan move? Not enough voting members from either party are willing to pass the bills.
Let’s look at the facts. The president does not need any Republicans to vote for Healthcare. Since President Obama has taken office, the Democratic Party has had the numbers to pass any legislation they can agree on. The problem is what is included in the bills. Very few people actually know what is in the bills because they have not been distributed for review. It’s not that Congress can’t agree. It’s that too many agree that this is not a good bill.
Our President also seems to have a different definition for the term “transparency.” Glass is usually transparent. You can see what is happening on the other side. Wood, steel and drywall are non-transparent materials. It’s difficult to see what is happening in his closed-door meetings. One thing is clear. Republicans, Democrats and the majority of the American citizens do not want this Healthcare bill.
Mr. President, less is more. If a new bill with less pages is written and it is distributed for more people to read; it will become more likely to be passed.
