Where Is The Learning Curve On Healthcare Reform ?

Scott Brown won in Massachusetts on a three part campaign–he would oppose the current healthcare reform bill, he was opposed  to treating terrorists as common criminals, and he wanted lower taxes.  With that message he was elected to the Senate in a one-party Democrat state.  Sounds pretty clear.  Well, maybe not.

Today’s New York Daily News reports that the Democrats are still planning on moving ahead with their healthcare reform bill. 

The article reports:

“It’s very clear, people don’t want us to walk away from health care,” David Axelrod, a senior Obama adviser, told ABC News’ “This Week.” “They want us to address their concerns with the program.”

Oh?  I will admit that I am not opposed to some form of healthcare reform–tort reform, portability of insurance, an insurance pool (possibly subsidized by the government) for pre-existing conditions, tax credits for low income people to buy health insurance, and no healthcare insurance for illegal aliens (illegal aliens are entitled to healthcare by law, I just don’t want to see them given free healthcare insurance).  However, I would be willing to wager almost anything that a Democrat healthcare bill will not include those things.

Healthcare insurance, however, is not my number one priority.  I do wonder why the Obama Administration seems to be so reluctant to see that the majority of Americans do not want their healthcare tampered with.
