Hope from Obama. Sensible health care vision.

Just a quick note on health care.
The Prez recently admitted that he wanted a universal health plan by the end of the year. He had been crying in the wilderness about a plan by August. Now he seems to realize the enormity of the process and challenge. Good for him!
I think we have hope. If he can encourage the Democratic majority to get calm and listen to some ideas from the other side of the aisle sanity may yet rule.
However, and this is a big however, the Republican’s must come up with a vision of their own to add to the mix or just shut up (wonderful thought for both parties!).
They need to consider all options. They need to listen. Then They need to legislate by committee and consensus until the Prez. stomps his foot at the end of the year.
No more taxes, no greater deficit, health care for all. Is it possible.
Yes. If Congress opens their doors and minds to all-comers and spends the time to put real, effective and affordable legislation together. Of course industry has to pitch in (doctors, nurses, hospitals, insurance companies and so forth along with the public and ‘patients’).
Five months and it can be done. Let’s just hope all of Congress takes the time to read whatever legislation comes out of the process.
They are knuckleheads (all of them really) but surely they can read and assess before voting.
If not WE will have to do it for them.
VIVA LA REVOLUTION!!!
