The Democratic Party has a problem in their efforts to pass Health Care Reform (H.R. 3962, the Affordable Health Care for America Act). After the House passed its version of the health care reform bill late in the evening on November 7th, there was a great deal of celebration being done. The Democratic leadership was able to push the bill through on a vote of 220 – 215.
Minnesota’s 6th
Michele Bachmann (R-MN) voted against the bill that would provide affordable health care to millions more Americans. The representative of Minnesota’s 6th District has made clear her opposition to Health Care Reform appearing on many Fox News programs to push opposition to reform. Many Minnesotans have begun to question whether she is the right Representation for them.
Traitor Joe
Still Michele Bachmann is not the problem. Senator Lieberman of Connecticut poses a potential pitfall to the historic efforts lead solely by the Democratic Party. On October 27th, he announced that he would support a Republican filibuster of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s health-care bill. This action alone could keep the Reid version from moving out of the Senate.
Grassroots opposition to Lieberman
Almost immediately the average Americans, the silent majority, began voicing their frustrations with Senator Lieberman. Internet sites, such as WordPress.com has added fuel to the fire by putting up comments and parodies against Lieberman. The frustration is understandable when you consider that more than 70% percent either strongly or somewhat support reform. Traitor Joe tee shirts are even turning up; the free market in action.
Even though Republicans have stated that the Senate Health Care Bill is dead on arrival, there are solutions.
