The Obama transition team seems to be performing like the campaign team did: sharp, poised, and on point. Voters and legislators from both sides of the political aisle agree that the Obama camp is doing a great job. There are some reports however, that do show the American public is still undecided as to whether Obama will be able to enact the health care plan he ran on during his campaign.
The Los Angeles Times reports that only 4 in 10 Americans believe Obama can provide all Americans with health care. What does that mean? Why are we not confident of him in this regard?
Since the dire condition of the economy is the current issue of the day, many Americans likely feel that the important issue of universal health care will get pushed off to a back burner until its time again boils to the top of our attention.
Considering the issue's importance in the minds of most Americans, Obama recently stated at a press conference that (health care reform) "Has to be intimately woven into our overall economic recovery plan. It's not something that we can sort of put off because we're in an emergency. This is part of the emergency." The statement was made as he announced former Senator Tom Daschle as his choice for Health and Human Services Secretary.
Hillary Clinton's unsuccessful effort back in the early 1990's to develop a sellable health care plan still leaves a bad taste in the mouths of many. That may be a lingering reason why Americans are reluctant to believe this can get done. But times have changed in the last 15 years and these days even the health insurance industry agrees that the existing health care system is broken and needs a drastic makeover. That fact in itself may be the catalyst Obama needs to succeed in this endeavor. - 15224
