According to CNN, “Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said Congress would pass a health care bill this year, while his counterpart in the House — Speaker Nancy Pelosi — outlined a two-step plan intended to maintain public focus on the issue.” However, because of Republican Scott Brown’s victory in Massachusetts last week, hopes of getting a bill passed were quickly crushed. Democrats lost their 60-vote Senate supermajority, and since the election, Democrats have been struggling to think of a new plan.

Health care is one of the main domestic issues President Obama faced in delivering his State of the Union address Tuesday night. Obama’s “”comprehensive health care reform” initiative appears to be traveling the same path that occurred under President Bill Clinton in 1993 and Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger in 2007. History does repeat itself,” reports Thomas E. Lorentzen from the San Francisco Chronicle. Lorentzen says that “comprehensive health care reform” might not be the best solution for the issue because a majority of Americans are comfortable with their current health care plan. He goes on to say that they do see that there are access and cost problems with medical insurance, but the idea of a complete health care overhaul comes with fears and uncertainties.

President Barack Obama’s health plan was created to help the average American by substantially lowering costs for families and not requiring adults to purchase insurance, and in return, only wealthy people’s taxes would increase. “But a year later, the health care proposals in Congress lack many of those easy-to-sell benefits, which became victims of the lengthy process of trying to win over wavering lawmakers, appeasing powerful special-interest groups and addressing concerns about the heavily burdened Treasury,” reports MSNBC.

As the health-care reform progresses, the public’s dislike towards the pending bill continues to grow. And as a result of the public becoming more and more displeased, Obama’s popularity is on the decline. U.S. News reports that, “A poll released Tuesday by CBS News shows the decline to be continual, with 54 percent of the more than 1,200 adults surveyed saying they disapproved of the way in which Obama was handling healthcare.” And feelings towards Congress are worse as 57% say they aren’t happy with how the Democrats are dealing with the issue, and people aren’t too happy with how Republicans are handling the issue either as 61% reported they are dissatisfied.
