Why wasn’t anyone debating this when we had a chance to stop him from destroying heathcare in our country? He talked openly about this during his campaign. Anyone who was listening heard him lay out his plans to socialize medicine (and other aspects of our culture). It’s a lot harder to stop a train with momentum than it is to stop a train that is first gaining momentum. If we had stoppd this insanity in the primaries or the general election, this debate would be moot.
Here’s the irony: I think we’ll wind up with something that’s relatively tame compared to what’s being kicked around now (like we’re seeing with financial reform, for example). I think it’ll be marginally helpful, cost more than we expect it to, and if we’re lucky, get modified years from now (by this President or the next one) until it actually starts helping (like No Child Left Behind).
Which is how democracy is supposed to work, after all.
But we live in a “heat of the moment” world, so everyone has to play to the extremes, and disagreement becomes controversy, and debate becomes shouting matches. Years from now, all of that will be forgotten and only the result will remain…
And, as I said before, that’s how it’s supposed to work…
