President Obama while being interviewed by CBS News anchor Katie Couric hours before the network televised the Super Bowl. Obama challenged Republicans to bring their ideas to the table for the Feb. 25th televised open forum to cover more Americans and fix the health insurance system to the public discussion. This is another move to have bipartisan support for the Healthcare bill and for the American people to see what is holding up this much needed change.
President Obama said, "I want to consult closely with our Republican colleagues," Obama said. "What I want to do is to ask them to put their ideas on the table. . . . I want to come back and have a large meeting, Republicans and Democrats, to go through, systematically, all the best ideas that are out there and move it forward."
The American people deserve to have members of the House and Senate that represent them and are really focused on moving America forward. It is like we are on pause and I am sure that no one in America wants to feel stuck and unproductive.The Democrats seem to becoming unglued and unaware that they hold a majority. This live televised forum will allow the American people to make a choice, since Congress wants to act like Healthcare for our nation is not important. Heck they have insurance so why should they care?
We will all see if this process is effective and begins to have a workable conversation between the parties so that we can get back on track and focus on keeping this nation safe and healthy. It is possible, but it is going to take true visibility so that the American people can be involved in the healthcare reform bill. So, let's see what the GOP has to offer and then let's start building to have a healthier America!
