HEALTH AND WOMEN

What is at stake in the debate on health care is more than just the processing policy. The problem is, the identity and the Democratic Party.

Today we know that democracy can save the traditional Republican voters as Wall Street, but it remains to be seen whether it can issue a convincing version of his own signature issue, health care reform.

At this point, it is legitimate to ask if Democrats on why health care is their problem in the first place. Health-care debate has always done, it was also pushed to the forefront of all major questions about the legitimate role of government, and too many Democrats are trying to avoid by sentimental appeals to consensus and bipartisanship. The war is on the Democrats, and if you want to win, they need to start fighting.

In the first years of the campaign for national health insurance, battle lines are clearer. Back in the 40th years, this question was part of the law, “property rights”, which is a big idea pushed by President Harry S. Truman Roosevelt.

Last Sunday, Republican John McCain joined to urge major changes in the bill the president Barack Obama on health care, in the spirit of bipartisanship.

Disgusting.

McCain and the GOP have absolutely no intention to enter the real Obama step reform of health care. They have not made any major change ideas on the ground in the discussion of health care and probably never will in the future.

On the contrary, are trying to kill the key parts of the legislation of Obama.

So when McCain said Sunday on national TV that a compromise is possible if Obama drops by a public insurance plan option, you just laugh.

Unfortunately, Obama seems intent on trying to get bipartisan support on his behalf, and that means bowing to the GOP.

He should not do so because they probably would get the same number of votes for the GOP without a bill which would have the ability to publish a draft bill with the option of the public.

And this is zero, no matter what McCain said Sunday.
