The signature has dried but the debate has not cooled.
In fact, the health care debate, America's perception of what the health care reform has become, and our view of our leaders as well as major healthcare organizations in America has changed radically.
Take the healthcare reform issue.
It alone seems to be responsible for a remarkable change in the attitude of the American public with regard to who is responsible for healthcare in the United States.
Prior to now, the signing of the healthcare and its proposed enactment, the Gallup poll found that many Americans believed it was the responsibility of the government to insure them against ill health.
That attitude and outlook has undergone a drastic change that is nothing short of dramatic.
Given the obsession with the current administration to leave something of themselves behind as law, and the subsequent pandering to the Federal Government by trusted organizations, our mindset has changed.
Organizations such as the American Medical Organization, who is being seen these days as something less than credible and little more than a government pimp are being viewed in less favorable light, while our minds have changed about who should foot the bill for our illness.
The last Gallup poll found that most Americans these days don't think that they want the government to give them health care coverage.
The remarkable about face is credited in part to what America perceives as discrimination against elderly and chronically ill, while part is credited to the perception that the health care coverage will cost them more and avail them of less when all is said and done.
Gallup found that more than half of all Americans these days think they government should not offer healthcare and more than that believe that if the government does offer it, they will not take them up on their generous offer of help.
While some state they may buy it, others declare they would prefer just about anything as an option.
States as well as people threaten to sue if they are forced to buy into a discriminatory health care coverage that will give them less choices, less care, and more financial woes if they attempt to turn it down.
The proposed tax that Americans will be subject to may jeopardize the homes and properties of Americans who are forced to either take the duck or pay the piper.
Americans who find themselves unable to pay for the coverage and certainly unable to pay the tax are in no better shape than they were when they could not afford health care coverage.
In fact, they are going to be in a position where they can lose homes or not be able to provide adequately to pay for food or utilities if they are forced into a health care coverage that essentially grants them less care than the Medicaid plans of most states, and less so for the older American.
