Nail In The Healthcare Coffin

If last nights Massachusetts miracle isn’t a wake up call for Democrats, I don’t know what is.  Republican Scott Browns decisive Senate victory should leave little doubt in the minds of those in charge in Washington that even liberal Massachusetts has had enough.

Most people agree that there does need to be changes in the way we deal with the issue of healthcare in this country, but the current plan which would most certainly lead us down a road toward socialized medicine is not the answer.

Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi can talk all they want about Republicans setting up roadblocks and the will of the people being thwarted.  But you can’t ignore the facts:

• The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that just 38% of voters nationwide now favor the health care reform plan proposed by President Obama and congressional Democrats.  That matches the lowest level of support yet.  Fifty-six percent (56%) of voters oppose the plan.
• Now as of last night, the GOP has gained an important Senate seat in a state that hasn’t seen a Republican Senator for decades and the very seat previously occupied by the man who championed the current healthcare reform measure.

When it comes to the current healthcare bill to borrow a phrase; Do not ask for whom the bell tolls, it tolls for thee.
