The national healthcare plan must be seriously flawed. Not since 1976 has a President had majority rule in congress like President Obama now has. There are fifty-eight Democrat Senators and two Independent senators (Lieberman of Conn. And Sanders of Vermont) that vote with the Democrats 99% of the time. Two of the Republican senators (Collins and Snowe, both from Maine) are so easily swayed they may as well be counted as Independent if not outright Democrats. This a minimum of sixty and in reality sixty-two votes for Democrats on any vote. In the House of Representatives the Democrats enjoy a 256 to 178 majority. Why does President Obama blame the Republicans for non-passage of the bill (H.R. 3200)? The problem can’t be Republicans, the Democrats have a majority and could pass this bill even if every Republican congressman voted against it. Why hasn’t this happened? Because even the Democrats know this is a terrible piece of legislation that should never even be considered. America is still a center-right country even if an extremely liberal man was voted into the presidency. The Democrats congress know they must eventually return home and answer to their constituency. This is what they fear most.
