Former President Bill Clinton claims health care
reform is good politics, but the Senate must act fast and pass health care
reform. Clinton,
speaking with Senators at a luncheon today, said the worst thing Democrats
could do is nothing.
Clinton visited the U.S. Capitol to urge Senate Democrats to
quickly pass a broad healthcare overhaul. Clinton
said health care reform is an economic imperative. "It's not important to
be perfect here. It's important to act, to move, to start the ball
rolling," the former president told reporters. "I just urged them to
resolve their differences and pass a bill"
Former President Clinton is right on the money. The
Democrats are currently winning the national political contest. Health care
reform is not only a moral imperative but an economic imperative. Democrats in
the Senate need to pass something this year. The momentum is with the
Democrats. They must act if they are to keep that momentum.
On a more humorous note, Senator Sheldon Whitehouse
(D-R.I.) said Clinton
described the ongoing tea party protests against the Democratic agenda as a
sign that the Democratic party was making progress. Whitehouse quoted Clinton arguing: "The
reason the tea-baggers are so inflamed is because we are winning."
