It really doesn't take a genius to see the Democrats are struggling with their health care plan. President Obama is not helping matters with his recent comments about surgeons performing unnecessary procedures which led to a statement by the American College of Surgeons:
"The American College of Surgeons is deeply disturbed over the uninformed public comments President Obama continues to make about the high-quality care provided by surgeons in the United States. When the President makes statements that are incorrect or not based in fact, we think he does a disservice to the American people at a time when they want clear, understandable facts about health care reform. We want to set the record straight."
The American Medical Assurance too opposes Obama's plan. And the AARP also had begun to distance itself.
Ouch. First the Democrats attack the people and got a revolt (some independents are also turning against him - or at least are sympathetic to the Townhall meetings. To say nothing of these secret backroom deals with pharmaceutical companies) on their hands and then they decide to go after doctors and surgeons. Maybe it's misleading but the bottom line is the people, rightly or wrongly, have become wary.
Who's their strategist? Seriously. Tactically, they've been horrible.
I'm always being told I try to do too much to fast. I think this is Obama's problem. He wants to fix the economy, environment and health all in one swoop. Nothing gets done until people psychologically feel the economy is on the mend - not what the statistics or pundits think. With the bailouts, citizens feel squeezed out of the equation and with the health care plan all they saw was yet more spending by the government. Would it have changed anything to pace himself?
This perception I just described led me to this question: Is it leadership if leaders ram things through even against the will of the people? For their own good as it were.
The Democrats may need to regroup and focus on what part of the plan they really think is necessary. This probably means concessions.
A while ago, Obama chose not to select Howard Dean as his Medical czar. Did he make a mistake? As a doctor, Dean certainly understands the issue. Here's a video with Dean talking about needing a "hybrid" plan on MSNBC. It's starts around 5.24 mark.
