The Real Battle for Health Care Reform - US Senate

The New York Times Blog: Reports on the next battle for US health care reform, the House bill that passed by two votes is now heading for the US Senate, the NYT writes the following, " Don’t tell the House speaker, Nancy Pelosi, but that was supposed to be the easy part. " In the Senate the Majority Leader, Senator Harry Reid has less power to force his agenda through, if Senator Lieberman keeps his word and blocks the bill due to public option and republicans keep together then they can block the bill. The Finance Committee Bill should be the frame work for any compromise bill, that bill did not have the public option. Lets hope the US Senate can bring moderation to this bill, other wise the Democrats will bankrupt the USA, just like Mexico in the 1990s that had to be bailed out by the Clinton Administration. Lets recall that one of the reasons for the decline of the Roman Empire was that they devalued the coin of the realm, are the Democrats pushing the USA in that direction, also the British Empire came to end due to the fact that the UK was broke after World War Two. Thus this health care bill should either be reformed or binned by the US Senate. Time to contact your Senators folks, this could be your only chance to serve the USA.
