Health Care Stalled in the US Senate Redux

The New York Times: Reports that the Independent Senator Joe Lieberman has refused to back the compromise new version of health care reform, the NYT writes the following on the remarks of Senator Lieberman, " said on Sunday that he would vote against the health care legislation in its current form. " One has to admire Senator Lieberman, he cares more about the country than the fixed ideology of the Democratic Party, Lieberman supported Bush 43 over Iraq and now showing the Democratic Party that you have to have logic in any reform, the present health care reform bill would allow those under sixty to enter the Medicare, this would bankrupt the system, also Lieberman is opposed to the public option that would give medical cover to a majority of Americans but at the cost of higher taxes, this would place the USA further in to recession. Thank God for Senator Lieberman, lets hope the Democrats take his wise advice, and start again with health care reform.
