So here we are. A health care bill soon to be rammed through that the people don't like, Congress itself doesn't truly like but it's going to ram it through.

The Dems are committing political suicide if they pass it through Reconciliation and just by the bill itself. It's not a good solution, it sucks.

The GOP is committing suicide by not coming out with a better solution to the people. Granted they may not be able to put it on the floor for debate.

Now, if I were a GOP strategist, I"d have a proposal better than that being passed and show it to the people (personally, my choice would be sliding scale). I'd have every GOP out there showing the proposal and comparing it to what will be passed and talking about how the Dems aren't even listening to the people.

This would show to the people that the GOP sees the need and unlike now, is willing to attempt to find some change. Now, the GOP just yells about all the faults and while it is extremely flawed, they offer nothing else.

Eventually, and I believe this is what the Dems are doing, it starts looking like the GOP doesn't see a need for reform and doesn't care, they just are playing partisan politics. Which WILL hurt the GOP immensely.

I could foresee the Dems waiting until the heavy electoral races before they truly do anything. Everything else is scare tactics. During the races, the Dems come at the GOP about how they don't want ANY health care reform and it's over for the GOP.

Then, the Dems vote on this fucking horrendous bill and get it passed. Taxes go up, people want their care now and we'll see hospitals go broke, go private, and so on. It's going to be a mess and in 2 years 2012... the Dems that voted for it will be toast. BUT it will be law.

The people by and large want and realize we need some form of reform but they don't like this bill and the way it is being processed. The GOP is truly taking a huge gambit with not offering their own plan up. The Dems are just going with the wrong bill and doing the wrong things to get it passed.

Just my opinion and observation.... what is yours about this?
