BBC News: Reports on the passing of US health care reform by the House of Representatives. Thus Obama and the Democrats have to sell the Act to the American people, although there are benefits in the Act, its not those that worry the political types, its the ones that people feel in the wallet or purse. Thus the Republicans will run on a simple message of repeal and replace, they Republicans will state that they will repeal Obama Care that forces US citizens to buy insurance under threat of legal action, also they will cancel the tax hikes, these last two start straight away. Lets recall a majority of Americans are happy with their medical cover, when they find out that the insurance companies have to raise their costs to pay for the thirty two million of Americans who do not have cover they will turn to the Republicans. As stated in many posts on this blog the success of the Great Society of LBJ did not lead to years of Democrats in the White House, quite the reverse, just think that after the end of the Cold War the US turned to Democrats in the shape of Bill Clinton, a moderate Democrat when looking at President Obama. Sometimes the prize is the fight, once Party either Democrat or Republican win the policy the wind goes out of their balloon. Thus Democrats might find they will look at the old saying , be careful what you wish for, you might get the result but lose the War.
