Say”goodbye” to the Democrats majority

The debate about the public option really isn’t policy debate at all. It is a no-brainer to implement a medicare like system that allows for reimbursement at the same scale as medicare, for everyone in America. The real debate is about whether or not conservative can get Democrats to break a promise to the American people when they said they would give the country a public option.
In other words it is about Republicans trying to get a political advantage and whether or not Democrats will be stupid enough to give it to them. Republican politicians will be able to claim Democrats were lying when they promised a public option. Even though it was mostly Republicans who made sure it didn’t pass that is not what most people are going to remember. They will remember that Democrats had a solid majority and could not pass a public option and probably for another forty years any time anyone trys to do something about the health-care in America it will be very easy to say they are lying or that they are unrealistic. After all at one time Democrats had a majority in both houses and their was a democratic president.
Even if the minority party could get a bill passed through both congress and the Senate I am sure President Palin would veto it. Democrats really need to come together and pass a health-care bill with a robust public option. The last time they failed at health-care we wound up with eight years of Bush.
