Chicken Little Democrats
Many Democrats are running scared over the failure of the Obamacare website and questions about folks getting canceled on their present policies, especially the Senators running for re-election.
Any day now, we can expect them to denounce the program in its entirety. They don't seem to have the courage to defend the program that they voted for?
The sky is falling! The sky is falling!
The President and the Party are on the defensive. Much of it stems not only from the failure of the website but also, the media reports of folks getting their policies canceled or their premiums skyrocketing. Then the President's comments about "if you like your plan, you can keep your plan" is played on a loop on the TV.
Democrats that cannot defend their home turf will have Republicans come into their home and raid their refrigerators. If they have a defense, they should use it. Perception becomes reality after a while.
What are the positives of the program? It gives the opportunity to 50 million Americans to get health insurance. Now, it will not be delivered to their door. They will have to put out a little effort to get the coverage but it is there, especially for those folks that have had their policies canceled.
Also, for parents with children that have pre-existing conditions, they can have peace of mind that they can get health coverage for their children. For folks with catastrophic illness, they will not have to worry about losing their homes and everything they have worked for their entire lives because the insurance companies will not cover them.
We could choose to leave these 50 million people out in the cold but we are better than that. People that get sick deserve to have a doctor to go to. We are not a cold-hearted people. We believe in taking care of our sick and elderly.
There are responses for Democrats that have the backbone to use them. Otherwise, they can hide behind their fears and face defeat in the next election.
