I find watching the debate about the new health care plan interesting. One group says that Obama took too long getting Obamacare going and it used up all of his political capital and the Republicans are doing the same thing with all of their bickering. Another group says that you don’t have to pass everything in the first six months. Many experts say that they are trying to pass a bill that no one knows about and the second group of experts tells everything that is wrong with the bill that no one knows about. As usual these people are taking past each other. From a strictly political standpoint it would be to the Democrats advantage if they could keep the fight over health going until the next election and then they could say nothing was done. This was the strategy used by the Republicans when Obama was in office. The Republicans could offset some of this by going ahead with tax reform, immigration reform and infrastructure. The argument is that tax reform must follow health care reform since there are many tax changes in the new health care proposal. If that is the case then proceed with immigration and infrastructure while they argue over health care.
