The path to enacting significant legislative measures in the Congress has become a war of words.\u00a0 Let\u2019s be honest, the American people are at risk with political logjam.\u00a0 We are facing tough economic times and look to leaders to offer creative and results-oriented ideas to the electorate.\u00a0 We have needed a decisive march to the end goal of making government work for the people through a demonstrative series of compromises.\u00a0 After all, the political system establishes a majority and a minority so that parties will work together.\u00a0 This means that our legislators and the voters must be deeply engaged, responsive and understood.<\/p>\n
The President\u2019s health care summit at the Blair House in Washington sought to step aside the war of words, roadblocks and ideally break the barriers that have stalled comprehensive health care reform.\u00a0 We heard a lot from our officials in DC\u2026repeated critical mantras outside the scope of the agenda, budgetary inaccuracies, a sense of urgency and hope, and a repeated attempt to deconstruct criticisms.\u00a0 While I was impressed with the smarts of the President and Senator Tom Coburn (R-OK), it was clear that Sens. Lamar Alexander\u00a0(R-TN) or Mitch McConnell (R-KY), John Barrasso (R-WY), as well as Reps. John Boehner (R-OH) and Paul Ryan (R-WI) wanted to stage a political theater featuring a \u201cbroken government,\u201d a \u201cfederal takeover\u201d of health care, and ultimately a lack of urgency to reform health care.<\/p>\n
