After the Health Care Summit

The healthcare bill has caused a big dispute between the Democrats and the Republicans. At the meeting President Obama tried to sway opinions for the bill explaining how it would provide healthcare for 30 million that are currently uninsured. It also provided a way to cut the rising cost of the medical care deficits. The minority party leader said that the United States has the "best healthcare in the world." Thursdays meeting tried to bring arguments to an end to finally see if the healthcare bill could be passed. Each party tried to implement their own ideas into the bill but it seems like the bill will not be passed. Republicans tried to tear Obama's plan apart saying that the bill will not pass unless we start all over. The author of this editorial believes that the speaker of the house, Nancy Pelosi, should push the house to agree with the senates final bill. The author also says that obama needs to identify how significant the bill will be and how it can change uninsured peoples lives for the better.

The author seems to be optimistic on the bill passing. I don't agree with that I believe that Obama will have to start over like the Republicans said because they will not pass the bill. I also don't agree with the auther how he/she says that Obama needs to explain how important the bill is. I think the president has explain that showing that it will allow 30 million americans, who are currently uninsured, to become insured. I don't think its the presidents fault it is the house and senate have to come upon an agreement with one another. I think it will take awhile for them to agree although the author brought up a good point pushing the house to agree with the senates plan but who knows if it will ever happen.
