Today Febuary 28, 2011 President Obama spoke about the health care reform once again. In his speech today he talked about how he was willing to give the states earlier flexibility in how they implement the overhaul signed into law last year. He also gave a bipartisan proposal. This proposal stated that he would allow states to apply for innovation waivers in 2014. If this were to happen it would be three years earlier then they planned for the states to start applying for them in the health care reform. Aftering hearing this the Republican Govenor of Kansas, Sam Brownback, went on to say that "This offers a little bit of flexibility, which I think is a positive thing, but it doesn't change the overall objection to the bill." I think that the govenor is right. This would be positive but the bill will still be the same no matter what he does and it will have the same objectives it had in the beginning.
Hopefully soon the President and the Government will figure out the Health Care Reform. I really think that the proposal Obama put on the table will be a positive thing for the Reform, and maybe it will help the GOP to accept the Health Care Reform as it is.
