President Obama ratifies the death of Republican Party

President Obama signed today the healthcare bill he desperately has been fighting for in the past two months. Finally it seems almost 95% of American fellow citizens will have the chance of getting their deserved medical cares without paying it with their blood or with their own lives.
The bill ratifies the end of the Republican party in the sense of "a group of persons organized for the purpose of representing a larger number of a nation's citizens".
Even if the Webster dictionary seems much more pragmatic not to say ironical in this sense stating "a group of persons organized for the purpose of directing the policies of a government" maybe they wanted to joke on such an important issue....
Anyway now that the bill is passed it's the best time to enjoy high level entertainment by watching news shows interviewing both parties on the topic but especially republicans. After the bill was passed I really enjoyed an interview with Paul Broun (R) who is also a physician, who basically said (while babbling) that this bill is a betrayal of American constitution and that he's more than sure that American people rejects this bill.
I really can't understand of what people he's talking about...maybe about those 50 million american citizens who are uninsured or maybe of those 50 thousands american citizens who die every year because they cannot afford appropriate cares as it's too much costy for them.
Minority leader John Boehner went even further down, by stating that the institution of the American congress has betrayed its own mission, leading to the misrepresentation of the people's will... and that's the end of democracy as the congress is a representative instrument of the people's will.
Indeed they could even be right as it seems that according to a Rasmussen survey the majority of Americans believe that with this bill the cost of healthcare will rise up and that the quality level of cares will go down. No surprise from this survey as the American citizen's opinion has been doped in the past six months by the investments made practically on every single news media by the largest insurance companies in the country against this bill.
The truth is that for the majority of American citizens the situation about their healthcare cannot really worsen than what it's like at present: 50 millions people uninsured, 100 millions underinsured 50 thousands people dying each year because they cannot afford appropriate cares.
I don´t really know of who Mr. Bohener referred to while speaking of misrepresentation...probably of himself. 100 millions people it´s a third of the entire U.S. population....
While civilized countries in Europe are watching this sad show shaking their heads Republicans don´t give up their useless fight. Although if you had a bit of common sense, you would understand that in a globalized world, a country that wants to lead the world, that leaves a large part of their citizens dying because government does not provide healthcare while all the others do it is just shameful. Paradoxally Silvio Berlusconi, Italy´s conservative leader called Mr. Obama right after the bill was passed to congratulate him.
However only the future will give the answer to all these doubts regarding government-run healthcare. If the bill made by President Obama will set a pattern of healthcare standards that is at least the 50% of European governement-run healthcares, that will be already a great result. In the meanwhile we can just wait for this bill to start up working.
In the meanwhile we re going to enjoy the best entertainment show ever, by watching who's gonna get on board into the obamacare bandwagon. The first it seems to have been nothing less than the 2012 only possible republican candidate: Ms. Sarah Palin, who started today reproaching President Obama about the healthcare plan of military forces, who appearently have not been included in the bill. According to Palin, the question would be "how could military forces afford a plan under these new conditions?" Ms. Palin, what about before this bill? Now Sarah Palin seems to acknowledge that private plans are not affordable....well this is the greatest team change I ever seen in my entire life, it's much better than the Avatar movie by James Cameron.....
At this time we cannot judge how Obama care will fix the devastated American healthcare situation, but for sure things cannot worsen, certainly it will get better.
Under the political point of view the question now is: In the remote chance that the Obamacare will perfectly work, what kind of expectations can have the republicans after having fought with all their forces for the ugliest insurance companies on earth...against their own fellow citizens...Is it possible that Republicans can only rely on rich American billionaires?
Is it possible that the majority of voters are all well insured and ready to stand and to fight for private insurance companies???
In the last elections we have seen an increasing number of people getting registered to vote. Those people are the underdogs, the uninsured, the underinsured.
Certainly there's an ancient american spread out complex that no psychologyst has revealed yet that's the one that every American citizen is convinced to be a middle class citizen. That's the trick. But this healthcare bill has probably something new carrying inside itself: the class consciousness.
Republicans they better try to find some very good arguments for their political campaign, 2012 is near and they don't have a real candidate, they don't have arguments they don't have a number of things..they re probably almost dead.
