Mitt Romney thinks President Obama is not being deferential enough to the Republicants regarding health care reform.
Huh? Is he kidding?
Mr. Obama is being far too deferential to the people who have absolutely no interest in real reform, and every special interest in killing anything like reform.
All you have to do is read anything from Senator Grassley to know this is true. Mr. Grassley will do all he can, and is doing all he can, to kill any bill that comes out of any committee, regardless of how how many concessions are made to them. He has no interest in stopping the health care-industry gravy train he's riding. He's using fear to cloud what's true.
Sure, real healthcare reform, a public option for healthcare (i.e., "Medicare for all"), will cost a bundle; anyone who suggest otherwise is being disingenuous to the extreme. But all we have to do is cut the defense budget to pay for it.
As it is now, we're subsidizing health care companies, enabling them to make absurd profits. Health care is not about the shareholders who own health care-company stocks; rather, it's about health care for these companies' policy holders. Senator Grassley, and even Democratic Senator Baucus, are far too beholden to the health care companies to be able to see their way through this.
More deferential to the Republicants, Mr. Romney? No way. Mr. Obama only needs to be deferential to the majority of people who elected him based on his promise to work his ass off for real health care reform, for real and affordable health care for everyone who needs it. If health care reform can be passed without the Republicants, so be it.
Mr. Romney, you need to get a clue. Bipartisanship only works if both sides mean it; however, your side clearly doesn't, clearly isn't interested in being bipartisan and instead insists on pure partisanship, on the politics of no. Mr. Obama keeps reaching out, and you keep slapping his open hand away.
