Health Care Reform Quotes - Page 2

• And there is no getting away from the fact - and this is a key point of discontent among many who are upset with the health care reform bill is it didn't go far enough. They say why isn't it in place now? Why don't I see some benefits now? All I see is the potential for losing insurance coverage, for premiums going up. That's hurting Obama.

• Los demócratas no pueden ganar elecciones sin captar los votos de los votantes indecisos de mentalidad independiente. Y ahí es donde descartar al Tea Party como un grupo de chiflados racistas resulta autodestructivo. La indignación del Tea Party por la reforma sanitaria, el gasto deficitario y los derechos desbocados no es una preocupación marginal.

• Obama parecía dispuesto a reorientar la política estadounidense tras su sorprendente victoria de 2008. Pero la economía sigue estando peor incluso que en los peores escenarios de la Administración, y las largas batallas legislativas sobre la reforma sanitaria, la reforma de los servicios financieros y la deuda y el déficit nacionales han pasado factura. Obama ya no parece invencible.

• Un buen lugar para iniciar un diálogo más civilizado sería que mis colegas republicanos de la Cámara de Representantes cambiaran el nombre del proyecto de ley que han presentado para derogar la reforma sanitaria. El proyecto de ley, titulado "Repeal the Job Killing Health Care Law Act", iba a someterse a votación esta semana, pero tras el tiroteo de Gabby, se ha pospuesto al menos hasta la semana que viene. No me malinterpreten: no estoy sugiriendo que el nombre de esa ley haya provocado de alguna manera el horror de este fin de semana, pero ¿es realmente necesario poner la palabra "asesinato" en el título de una ley tan importante?

• Winning control of the Senate would allow Republicans to pass a whole range of measures now being held up by Reid, often at the behest of the White House. Make it a major reform agenda. The centerpiece might be tax reform, both corporate and individual. It is needed, popular and doable. Then go for the low-hanging fruit enjoying wide bipartisan support, such as the Keystone XL pipeline and natural gas exports, most especially to Eastern Europe. One could then add border security, energy deregulation and health-care reform that repeals the more onerous Obamacare mandates.

• I'm not optimistic about reform in many, if any, policy areas at all. I think we'll make further progress by inventing new things that aren't much regulated yet and outracing bad policy. I look at so many policy areas - regulation, regulatory reform, health care reform - it's all failing, we're not making improvements, we're going backwards.

• I think health care reform is challenging and challenged. We will see what happens, but this is a difficult topic that touches every American family. And the more members of the Senate and the House both know about it, I think the harder it is to reach that conclusion you would like to get to.

• Maybe this Democratic president[Barack Obama] did and can get comprehensive health care reform passed, but notice, Medicaid is not expanded in any of these dark red states. The Republican Party may not be able to repeal Obamacare, but it certainly, through its state legislatures and governorships, has managed to halt Obamacare`s full impact.

• [Barack Obama failed to sell a health care reform plan to American voters] because the utter implausibility of its central promise - expanded coverage at lower cost - led voters to conclude that it would lead ultimately to more government, more taxes and more debt.
