Hard Work For Nothing?
President Obama called for talks with Republicans about the health care bill that he has worked so hard for since he has been elected into office. I am happy that Obama is bringing up this subject again because for a while I thought he would just let it die and turn his focus to the economy. However, I am glad to see that he has not given up even after the Democrats no longer hold enough seats to pass he bill (since Republican Scott Brown won Massachusetts.)
The Democrats are unanimously opposing the bill because they say it is a government takeover of healthcare. However, they still see that reform is needed and are calling for smaller steps. But I doubt these steps will make any difference and instead am rooting for Obama's plan to pass so real reform can take place.
