Health care reform has always been difficult to pass even for FDR. President Obama is trying not to make the same mistakes as President Clinton who was accused of coming up with a detailed plan without enough input from others. Perhaps you are right and President Obama is maybe getting a little too much input lately.

My point is to illustrate the difference between a leader who is on point and stays on point. Obama seems to create his own problems by sending mixed messages. I am for health care reform, and I could support what DC showed as Obama's guiding principles.
Quote:
The Administration believes that comprehensive health reform should:
* Reduce long-term growth of health care costs for businesses and government
* Protect families from bankruptcy or debt because of health care costs
* Guarantee choice of doctors and health plans
* Invest in prevention and wellness
* Improve patient safety and quality of care
* Assure affordable, quality health coverage for all Americans
* Maintain coverage when you change or lose your job
* End barriers to coverage for people with pre-existing medical conditions

So, why don't I support what he wants to do? My feeling is that he deviates from his message creating too much confusion.
