Health Care Reform Bill Hanging On Thin Ice

December 23rd, 2009    Posted by: admin

With the news of Senator Ben Nelson not yet in favor of the health care reform bill, the Democrats badly needed his vote to make the 60 votes needed to prevent the filibuster from the Republicans.

Sen. Ben Nelson withheld his vote because he needed to see more stricter rules on abortion and unless it is modified he is withholding his vote. This bill is fully supported by Pres. Obama.

The problem of democrats to get this done before Christmas become unrealistic when when Sen. Olympia Snowe said after a meeting with the President that the timetable given is “totally unrealistic” According to the AP Associated Press news from yahoo news online.

This has put any chance of getting some form of publicly funded public health insurance option for people who cannot afford it. With the strong lobbying by big insurance companies for the bill not to pass has makes things worse for the President and the Democrats who have tabled this bill.

Without the public health insurance option or public health care option on the table or on the bill, it will be hard for those 47 million or whatever the number is, to get any decent type or form of health insurance.

This will most likely not going to pass the Senate floor before the Christmas timetable that Pres. Obama has said.

I just hope that these Senators will have some kind of a compromise to this historical health reform bill so that Americans can get what they deserve.

Thanks
