Let me get this straight: The voters elected Barack Obama President. Mr. Obama campaigned on Health care reform as one of his top priorities. Healthcare reform is part of the Democratic platform and the voters elected a majority of Democrats to both the House and Senate. In a Democracy majority votes pass Bills. The Senate passed their version of Healthcare reform with 60 votes. The House passed its version with 220 votes and then passed the Senate version with 219 votes. And you are saying that somehow the "will of the people" has been ignored and this critical reform has been rammed down our throats? Exactly how does Democracy work in your world, again? -servops
