Health Care and Insurance Reform

by: BoomerDen

Mon Mar 22, 2010 at 08:37:16 AM MST


As I watched the HCR debate rage on this weekend, it occurred to me that the coverage was a bit obtuse a times. It also occurred to me how tired I am of listening to the scare tactics of the right and the left. It seemed that the passage of the Senate version of HCR was more important than not having a bill passed. It isn't perfect but President Obama has spent too much time in getting it passed and he needs his payoff. He needs to show that he can lead his own party. I am happy to see this bill finally come to sort of resolution.

Yesterday, certainly a day of high drama but with the passage of the bill this will stop giving companies excuses of why they are not hiring. Stating that they have no idea what their outcome is going to be until this debate is over is no longer valid. If they are going to hire, they are going to hire--period.

Anyway, I am new to SquareState and I am beginning to figure the ins and outs of it.

Good Point About Jobs
That's absolutely right -- now that major uncertainty has been removed in this regard, existing small businesses can hire people to help them grow.

Individuals can feel free to move between jobs, or even start their own small business.  Given that half of all jobs are being created by small businesses currently, that is no small consideration.

And as for the political impact of passage, check out David Frum's commentary (he's a top GOP strategist).  It could have been written by a Democrat -- it is a clear-eyed assessment of the damage sustained by the GOP.  Currently, his site is getting slammed, so they suspended taking comments -- certainly from outraged right-wingers: GOP's Waterloo
