Healthcare on back burner after Massachusetts election

Regardless of what Barack Obama said in his speech Wednesday, healthcare is on the back burner and may stay there for a long time.

There is a report at the link below titled: Democrats Put Lower Priority on Health Bill.

With no clear path forward on major health care legislation, Democratic leaders in Congress effectively slammed the brakes on President Obama’s top domestic priority on Tuesday, saying they no longer felt pressure to move quickly on a health bill after eight months of setting deadlines and missing them.

The Senate majority leader Harry Reid (pictured) deflected questions about health care saying, “We’re not on health care now.”

Mr. Reid said, “we’ve talked a lot about it in the past” then went on to say there is no rush and that Congress still had most of this year to work on the health bills passed in 2009 by the Senate and the House.

Reid’s comments are just the opposite of the rush to pass ObamaCare right up until the Democrat election disaster in Massachusetts.
