The State of Health Reform Since the State of the Union
January 30th, 2010
President Obama had this to say about health reform during his State of the Union address to Congress this past Wednesday:
“…if anyone from either party has a better approach that will bring down premiums, bring down the deficit, cover the uninsured, strengthen Medicare for seniors, and stop insurance company abuses, let me know. (Applause.) Let me know. Let me know. (Applause.) I’m eager to see it. Here’s what I ask Congress, though: Don’t walk away from reform. Not now. Not when we are so close. Let us find a way to come together and finish the job for the American people. (Applause.)
Let’s get it done. Let’s get it done. (Applause.)”
What do you think will happen to health care reform after the State of the Union?
A: I am pumped. They’re totally going to get it done. Now!
B: This is going to be a nightmare. He asked for people to bring him better ideas — and that’s going to take another, like, eight years to get every idea organized and heard.
C: Fast track it!
D: I don’t know. I don’t really think anything is going to happen.
E: Other thoughts??
Do you have “a better approach” to health reform than we’ve seen so far?
