GOP Victory In Mass Senate Race May Save Obamacare

Yes, you read it right, a GOP victory in the Mass race for Kennedy's Senate seat may save Obamacare. From Obama and the Dems. Now that the health care reform that the nation wanted is safely dead, killed by Obama, the Dems, and the GOP, the health care industry is resting easy, awaiting the additional riches it will receive because everyone will have to have an insurance policy, but the industry's over-the-top greed will not be hindered by rules without loopholes and hints of competition.

Now that the real battle to reform health care for the people has failed, Obama and the Dems are doing what they should have done to make true health care reform a reality. Obama "has taken full control" over the house-senate negotiations, reports the NYT, serving as head negotiator "during a 72-hour marathon of talks." As for the Dems, the GOP is livid that they have been cut out of these negotiations. Please recall that during the actual creation of the health care bills, Obama refused to get personally involved and the Dems refused to play hardball. In other words, what Obama and the Dems wanted is what we have gotten.

What this means is that in order to get true health care reform, we can only hope that "Obmacare" will be defeated. This could be done if a Republican wins the Senate seat in Mass, and that Republican is willing to vote against the house-senate compromise bill, along with the other 40 GOP Senators who are against it. Personally, we don't think this will happen, because Republicans really want "Obamacare" to pass because it's so beneficial to the health care industry. It has always been the GOP's intention to gut the reform bill as much as possible, and then point to its obvious inadequacies while running against the Dems in 2010. --Politex
