G'day Everyone.
Today's Opinion: Health Care. Politically, Washington, DC's Congress is about to vote on a health care package that could make or break the entire union of the United States of America. Many people are angry that we could have a new flawed system that could really kill more people than saving lives out there. Many are worried what is about to happen.
Here's a take on politics daily, Link: http://www.politicsdaily.com/2010/03/16/ingrid-martin-channels-joe-the-plumber-debates-obama-after-heal/?icid=mainmaindl1link3http%3A%2F%2Fwww.politicsdaily.com%2F2010%2F03%2F16%2Fingrid-martin-channels-joe-the-plumber-debates-obama-after-heal%2F
The latest vote count on the Health care: http://www.cnn.com/2010/POLITICS/03/16/house.vote.count/index.html?hpt=T2
Basically, it boils down to this: If those in the political offices of congress that have lived there for many years and making laws in their favor or oppose of the law, they got really two options left in their office.
Option 1: If they vote NO on health care and it gets defeated (totally), they may be able to win their seat at the coming elections by listening to the voters, but could incur the wrath of President Obama because they betrayed him. That would be their first risk to take.
However, there is a more DANGEROUS risk to their political lives of this health care vote.
Option 2: If they vote YES and health care gets passed, here is what will happen: They will earn the Praise of President Obama. They'll party a bit in Congress. They'll explain how the whole bill works in "favor" of the American People. But those that voted YES will be DOOMED at the Election times. These poor political people that voted yes will have to go back to their home states and face the voters, who will call them "YOU LIED", "TRAITOR". and being voted OUT OF THEIR OFFICES FOR GOOD.
Once they are voted out and the newcomer political people get in, there's no doubt that there will be a fight to reverse health care or make it better.
The future of our nation's health is already at a risk of time. President Obama could well be a ONE-TERM President if this Health Care bill passes. If it does pass, the democrats lose big time votes and the future of their political party.
Will this become a cause for new political parties to spring up and get voted into Congress? I think it's high time we break up his two political power houses in congress in favor of a new political party: Either the Tea party or the Coffee Party. This will be an interesting Spring elections. The Fall 2010 elections are going to be a BIG interest to see what happens. This will be Obama's Mid-term markings and he could fail before it's all counted. So we'll see.
Semper FI.
Update: The Health Care Vote is set for this Sunday! This is going to be the important point in our nation's history! Be Watchful!
