Fox News is reporting that Nancy Pelosi is now saying that the White House is working on a smaller healthcare reform bill that incorporates tort reform and the possibility of buying insurance over state lines. Are they kidding?
After all of the drama about healthcare reform are the Democrats now going to embrace what the Republicans have been saying all along just so they can say they got a bill passed? I think they might just be that deranged and desperate. The mess that they have be trying to pass has been soundly rejected by the American public (at least those with half a brain). If they don't want to look like complete failures they will have to get some Republican support and it looks like they might have finally figured that out. If Pelosi and her lefty cohorts had their druthers they would have passed the original bill with the public option. The more moderate members of her party know that it would be curtains for the Democrats if they go that route.
The irony is that this disaster of an administration will try to claim victory for all this if it actually happens! The people who should get the real credit are those that dug in their heels and wouldn't by into the monstrously expensive atrocity that Pelosi and co. would have you think was the best thing for all of us. The wonders of this administration surely never cease.
In the end, I believe that these people will best be remembered as phony charlatans. Don't be fooled again.
