Some arguments



I looked to see what people on CNN were saying. This is a talk between a few analysts who were going over the health care bill, what Democrats are or need to be doing in order to pass it and why. They point out that the chances are that the bill is going to pass. They say that this is the beginning, it’s not already set in stone, but there are going to be a lot of changes to it. That has been seen with all of the modifications that have been made to it so far, like health care involving illegal and legal immigrants for example.

That’s one of the good and bad sides of having a two party system, where one party has to fight to pass a bill, and the other fights to change it so that their needs are met also. Really, it’s all negotiation.

 

I thought it was interesting that Alex Castellanos is attacking the bill. Especially because his firm represents an association of health insurance companies-the people who probably want the bill less.

 

It’s important to look at who is talking and what their motives are for saying what they are. Politics is all about looking out for your best interest.

 

I was so happy to hear Jamal Simmons talk to Alex Castellano. He’s talking about the infectiveness of the bill but Jamal Simmons points out that yes, that’s true but there are going to be so many good things that come from it too! He’s really pointing out the effects it will have on the health of the nation, not the economy.
