Is Bipartisanship Necessary to Pass Health Care Reform?
Written by Ann Pietrangelo on August 20th, 2009 in Health Care Policy, In The News, Linked Articles.
Bipartisanship is a beautiful dream, in a kumbaya sort of way, but there are few issues that highlight the great divide between Democrats and Republicans like health care reform. In recent months the debate has exploded into a good versus evil battle with winner-takes-all stakes.
Republicans say that health care reform is needed, but are against a single-payer system, against a public option, not in favor of co-ops, don’t want to stifle insurance company profits, and have an “every man for himself” attitude, even when it comes to basic health care.
Their supporters are packing guns, comparing President Obama to Hitler, and invoking the Lord. They are not going to negotiate.
