Ignore Optimists, House Won't Kill ObamaCare

The Senate is in the process of passing their ObamaCare bill, and we've all seen the headlines proclaiming that this issue (abortion), that issue (deficit), or something else entirely COULD cause the House to kill ObamaCare by rejecting the Senate bill and losing votes in the Senate.

As I was writing this, I even received an email "alert" announcing that "we can still stop ObamaCare."

I'm here to tell you that it won't happen.

After the Senate passes the bill, the House will basically accept what the Senate offers. Why? Because bills to amend ObamaCare to make it more liberally acceptable will be submitted before the ink is dry on the President's signature. Why jeopardize the bill's passage when they can make changes to the law later?

So that's what will happen. They MIGHT wait until after the 2010 elections to begin that process, but I wouldn't count on it.


Once the question over WHETHER OR NOT the government should run health care has been settled, which it essentially will be once this law passes, then the issue becomes HOW MUCH control should it have. And the liberals think that everything about our health care system, from insurance to medical care, should be controlled by government bureaucrats. They'll begin moving pretty quickly to realize their lifelong dream.

The American people do not support this government takeover of health care... 91% are satisfied with their current health care, and 44% think that doing NOTHING on health care reform is better than passing the ObamaCare bills currently in Congress. (For the record, 41% disagree and think ObamaCare should pass.) But that doesn't matter to the liberals in charge.

After all, they know best, and it's for our own good.

Yeah, right.
