Midterm Election Results

With the Republicans winning majority vote in the House 239 to 186, it doesn't look so promising for the Obama health care plan. Republicans have been determined to get the plan repealed since it was enacted. Democrats are still the majority in the Senate however, winning 52 to 46. The soon-to-be House speaker, John Boehner, says he is ready to "lay the groundwork" for getting the health care plan repealed. Boehner states that he is worried that the health care bill that was enacted by the current Congress will "ruin the best health care system in the world." In my opinion, America definitely has the potential to have the best health care system in the world but it is not the best. We have the best doctors and medical facilities in the world but many people do not have access to these resources. People with money loved our health care system because they had access to the best of everything. People without money were out of luck. People should not be losing their lives because they cannot afford health insurance. There needs to be a public health care option.
President Obama defends his plan for the U.S. after the midterm elections. He plans to work with the Republicans on key issues in the current health care bill. He is not ready to give up yet and just let his bill be repealed. He states that, "No one party will be able to dictate where we go from here."
