You would have agreed with this last June but not now? You sound like Democrat Congressmen who favor Obamacare one minute and then oppose it the next or vice versa in only a matter of months or days!! With such uncertainty and confusion, why are we in such a hurry? Is it because Medicare and Medicaid are going belly up? If so, how is this bill going to be ...[text shortened]... ushing to pass a bigger and better plan of what has already been deemed a failure by both sides?
How can you look at the current healthcare reform debate and claim that anyone is in a hurry? Snails move faster than this. Back in June, when the discussion about the healthcare bill had just begun, there was reason to argue that we needed more time to discuss the issue.
Since then, there have been committee meetings, floor debates, tea party protests, coffee party events, petitions, town hall meetings, letters to the editor, daily news coverage, daily updates by your talkshow host of choice, in-depth analyses by various experts, blogs galore, countless threads on RHP, speeches by Obama, a healthcare summit, an infinity of commercials, and more. How much more time do we need?
Do you, personally, really want to sit through three or four more months of this? Do you think there's anything that could possibly change your own position (or anyone else's position) on this? Is there anything you, yourself, have not yet done to make your own voice heard on this subject?
