Even if Romney was to miraculously win the prez,he will by stymied by the same recalcitrant opposition in Congress ending in total gridlock. Be careful what you wish for.
I'm a big fan of gridlock, personally.
But if Romney wins, there will be gridlock only if he doesn't get both the House & Senate, and this at least seems like a reasonable possibility.
The key thing is that if the Court doesn't throw out Obamacare, there needs to some way of getting this train wreck cleaned up. If the Rs get control and then fail to straighten out the mess it will be on them.
The reason Obamacare is so messed up is clear: there was no mandate for the kind of reform they were pushing which meant they had to twist arms and bribe legislators for support. The process was as close to being corrupt as anything I've seen in DC in my life and it does not form the basis for good law. What we got is a turkey that will reduce the quality while increasing overall costs of health care in this country.
Perhaps, as a physician, you see that as a good thing. I do not. |
