Republicans Should Stop Delaying Reform

By Amir Ali Said

I’m frustrated with the Republican leadership. They keep trying to stop any and every thing that President Obama tries to improve. Republican leadership continues to delay bill after bill. They should start helping Americans and stop delaying reform.

Health care is a perfect example of Republican leadership delaying reform. They are getting in the way! There are even some Republicans admitting that they’re going to delay reform up until November. Why? Reason being, they don't want the health care industry to change, since there making money. Plus, as long as they stall, the more Republicans they can try to recruit through elections. Thanks to the super-majority rule Republicans could do that. But Majority should win! Thus, this is why health care reform may take a while. Thanks to Republicans delaying reform.

Historic Health Care Bill Passes

By Amir Ali Said

I stayed up this morning to watch the Senate vote on the historic health care bill. The bill was voted on at 7:30 in the morning on Christmas Eve! That's unheard of. However, the bill needed to be voted on. This health bill is historic for two reasons, there has been no health reform for sixty years and this is the first attempt at reform for sixty years. Now that this bill has been passed, I think only good will come out of this.

This was a great experience, watching the Senate vote on a historic bill. It felt good to watch history in the making. Its the first attempt at health care reform for sixty years. Since this bill has been passed, I believe more reforms are yet to come as a result of this health care reform.
