MUSIC TO MY EARS

"I'd rather have the committee working with the Senate and the president, focusing on savings and reforms that can be signed into law."

These were the words of Dave Camp (R-Mich), Chairman of the powerful House Ways and Means Committee, referring to the failure of the House to repeal the Health Care Law and the need to work on modifying the existing law.

Thank God. How much time has been wasted on this repeal effort, which was doomed from the beginning, Now they can get down to the serious business of analyzing the law, fixing its weak points, perhaps stripping away some of the earmarks and irrelevancies attached to the old bill and just plain repairing it. We need a worable health plan. Maybe, just maybe, some bipartisanship might appear? MAYBE, JUST MAYBE, SOME THINKING OF THE NATIONAL INTEREST?
