Ever since the conclusion of the Massachusetts election, I have heard very little about the health care bill. As I mentioned in another post, Democrats hoped to hurry the bill through before they lost their majority. That didn't work out. Now they are attempting to find different ways around opposition. Some sort of budget reconciliation that would only require 51 votes. It is unfortunate we have to go to these measures in order to get anything done in this area. Months have been spent on this bill and it looks like we're basically back where we started. Republicans continue to oppose it and even Democrat favor is wavering. Two specifically, a Senator Evan Bayh of Indiana and Blanche Lincoln of Arkansas. Both are facing election this year. My question is just how much does the public understand about the bill? Shouldn't we be worried that we're basically back in square one after so many months? Because I am.
