Who loses in the Health Care Reform Bill?

What is truly sad about the new health care bill? The Republican states that chose to say no. To get the needed votes, Democratic senators held the process hostage to get certain things for their states. In one case, Florida this makes for interesting politics. Sen. Nelson got to grandfather in Medicare Plus for Floridians. Florida also has a caretaker Republican senator who we all know will not vote for the bill. Had it not been for Sen. Nelson, Florida would have been left out of the process. Now the question is, when the next election is held for senator in Florida, which Republican will come forth and say they would have voted for Floridians? Probably Charlie Crist will, he's no fool. The thing is, what Republican senator running for election/re-election who refused to be a part of the process can possibly win since they made no effort on behalf of their constituents? The adage that a senator knows best even if it goes against the people who elect them won't hold much water. This bill would have been much better had the Republicans taken part in the process rather than being obstructionists. Even in the committee's when Republicans offered suggestions that they wanted, no one voted for the bill.

The big losers are the folks who have Republican senators that failed in their responsibility to work for the public good and to their constituents needs. By voting no and not being a part of the process because they do not want Mr. Obama to succeed is a terrible legacy to leave thier voters.

This process has be filled with hatred and tremendous animosity against a President who is fulfilling his campaign promises. The people elected Mr. Obama because we believed he would do exactly what he said he would do. Guess what? He has. He has kept his word to the American people and the Republicans have done everything in their power to see that he fails. Why would the Republicans want to deliberately sabotage a presidency that has full public support?

Diety help the Republicans who are following their party over the cliff like lemmings.
