Now that Rahm is in IL and Nancy is out of power. Time for the President

45. You make a very good point. It is obvious that the administration does not

want to get involved in any full discussions or public education on Health Care. And,
anyone on his administration would probably have to follow those marching orders.

However, I really do not totally understand the rationale behind this. I am surrounded by
republicans. They know nothing about this law. NOTHING. Sometimes I think, the only way is up
with these people. And then, there's the idea that small businesses are fearful of whats to
come when they have to provide insurance (or pay penalties). Of course these are business that
haven't bothered to educate themselves, but I wonder how real is this fear and is it
truly affecting hiring?

On the other hand, I also understand that the administration might not want to open what
they perceive as a hornet's nest? I can not think of any other reason for doing this
other than for political reasons.

My personal opinion is that it would be wiser to set up some type of public education on
the Health Care law. Maybe a Small Business Symposium? You will never get the crazies on board. But, maybe
you could pick up the support of some independents, uninsured people, and you could quell any fears out there when businesses can
actually see how the bill would affect their bottom line.
