You never hear the Democratic leadership talking about healthcare anymore. Why is this? Shouldn’t the passage of the healthcare legislation – heralded just a few short months ago as “a historic victory” – be an accomplishment worth bragging about? Have confidence in us! We passed the healthcare bill – we can handle this next problem without trouble!
Clearly Democrats don’t think it is in their best interest to broadcast their accomplishment since we rarely hear one of them mention healthcare.
Could it be that Democratic leadership realizes that trumpeting their healthcare “victory” has the complete opposite effect from the upswing of approval they were counting on? Ironic, isn’t it? Instead of inspiring America’s confidence in the ability of Congress and the Democratic leaders, discussion of healthcare stirs and motivates the American People even more deeply to protect themselves and hold Congress accountable for the laws they pass.
The Democrats in Congress and President Obama must find that inconvenient.
