Is change really believable?

I wonder as we go through this year if change is going to happen. There are so many road blocks preventing bills being passed it would be kinder if Obama would use the executive order to make the change possible. trouble is that another order from a different personality would over turn the effort even id it worked. The reason: it would not be right to enforce a law like this as when a new person takes over they can reverse the order with one of their own. No my hope is that the legislation will pass and that all Americans will have access to health care in the near future.

Which begs the question: why all the fuss. Health care providers are not against it, big pharmacology is hesitant, but change to cooperation's takes time. Even insurance companies that disagree with parts of it can adjust. Is it so difficult to manage? Is the real issue the "government run program argument"? Is it race the disease that brings comfort to both the extreme right and left? The answer could be none of the above. If so then what is it?

I believe the issue is fear. Blind fear that the problems in our nation are so large and have been ignored for so long, the effort to try to stem the tide is too great for the current government to handle. This appears to be so because of the vitriol you see on television. As an example, the exchange between Senator Kyle and the Chair of the Finance Committee Max Bacus. In an exchange reminiscent of High schools arguing on the playground,m there was the I need to say one more thing noise. The fact is that the same argument was made several times on the floor of the Senate. How many times does one make the same point without becoming a caricature?

This is the trend used by opponents that have no argument other than the government getting in the way. For once I wish they would honor the theme of country first rather than party, influence or dogma. People are still dying without help, still losing their insurance and most tragic, the children are becoming victims of a fiddle while Rome burns attitude. Later
