The Five Reasons So-Called Health-Care "Reform" May Still Fail

Yesterday, I noted that there is still a slew of possibilities as to why the so-called health-care "reform" scam may yet not reach the Dear Leader, President Obama's desk any time soon.
This analysis by Rich Lowry and Robert Costa over at National Review lays out five reasons why we may still have no "reform" scam.
I would highlight the first and most important point the gentlemen make.
That the public is not for this bill. The public is showing less support than ever with this so-called "reform" scam. While Democrat voters are lining up to support it, the Republicans are digging in their heels and the valued independent voter is siding with Republicans on this one. So far the Democrats in congress have been successful at getting this far. But the longer the process goes and more of what is being proposed gets into the public eye, it will be harder for the Democrat congressional leadership to nip at the heels and hope all just clicks right. Worse for the Democrats is that the senate version of so-called health-care "reform" includes more tax increases. And while the reform will take five to six years to get in, the tax increases are immediate upon the Dear Leader, President Obama's signature.
One thought I will add is that conventional wisdom says that while the Republicans will make some gains in congress next year, many old Democrat congressional hands are safe and have nothing to worry about.
Hmm, ask Sen. Byron Dorgan (D-ND). In a poll just released by Rasmussen, Sen. Dorgan trails potential rival Republican governor John Hoeven, 58% to 36%. And Gov. Hoeven is popular while Sen. Dorgan, hmm, not so popular. Sen. Dorgan has been around quite a while in the senate. When he is potentially on the chopping block for this monstrosity, Democrats need to worry.
If the mood of the American voting public is a combination of 1980 and 1994, it could very well be a bloodbath for the Democrat party at all levels.
As we say, read the whole thing. There is still hope that this monstrosity never makes it to the Dear Leader, President Obama's desk.
