Senate Democrats Have the Numbers For Health Care/Insurance Reform

Wednesday, December 23rd, 2009

Now the Senate democrats have the number to push the Health Care Reform bill to pass before the Christmas timetable. Senator Ben Nelson who was a hold out and wanted some more changes to abortion part of the bill got his wishes. So now they have the Magic 60 votes to get through Senate. The remains if the public health insurance option would still be an option. Or did they change the wording on it and would still have the public health care option?

This is Big Win for Pres Obama who has been the main supporter and or probably the author of this bill in essence. Whether we will see the public option health insurance or not the passage of the Health Care Reform bill is almost a done deal!

This is very great news to all democrats and Americans who were in favor of this health care reform but great sadness for those republicans and other Americans who thought that it will cut a lot of the services going to Medicare and left some seniors in serious trouble.

There are two sides to this and if this bill passes through it got to have the real value otherwise people would shouting on the streets for  a hush-hush health care reform.

The other question now is who are the winners and losers in all of this big debate and sometime personal debates between the Democrats and the Republicans?

Some of the health care insurer are going to be hit by this and some estimates has it some will close down and since the economy is very weak and still a working progress, companies closing down is the last thing you need to see.

Health Care Reform Bill Hanging On Thin Ice

Wednesday, December 23rd, 2009

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
