In early September news, President Obama had a speech about how the health care plan is necessary and that he is asking from the support of Republicans who support the health care plan. Basically, President Obama repeats over and over in his speech that he will not waste anymore time with the ones that oppose him, but he will “leave the door open” for the Republican who are with his policy. President Obama’s speech was done so he could try to regains his “political footing” on his health care plan, since that is his number one priority right now. The president also said that the health care plan will be about $900 billion over 10 years and he brings up the fact that the health care plan will reassure the elderly and the American who already have insurance so, these people are not worse off. With this whole entire health care plan situation, President Obama is having so much grief with many Republicans being against it. The Republicans feel like the health care plan will do no good with the current health situation. Also, many Americans are feeling like the health care plan may still be no use when dealing with their medical bills. I just feel like President Obama needs to get some support and some money for this health care plan, because right now he does not have much of both. I do not know where he is getting the $900 billion from to spread over 10 years, because right now the United States and the world economy is not in the best shape.

I agree with you that there are not so many people as Obama wished, supporting the Health Care bill. One of the problems about the health care bill is that it is very complicated and long. People might be reluctant to agree with the bill if they do not understand most of it and how it may affect them in the long run. If there could be some way to spread detailed and concise information about the health care bill, then people would be educated about the bill. But recently the bill was passed in the House of Representatives. But it is still concerning that only two Republicans in the Senate said that they will approve the health care bill. What do you think needs to be done to gain republican support?
