National Health Care a Reality?

In the article Obama shifts into campaign mode on health care, the authors discuss the current progress the Obama Administration is making towards a national health care system. I really enjoyed this article because they explain in great detail the progress that is being made and it is great to see President Obama attempting to follow through on his promises. The article discuses how President Obama has "reversed a campaign stance against requiring everyone to buy health care coverage" in order to support "some sort of individual mandate as long as there's a hardship exemption, If somebody truly just can't afford health insurance even with the subsidies that the government is now providing, we don't want to double penalize them." It also offers great detail as to who President Obama is speaking too and their stances. It seems the Republican Party continues their no cooperation stance with Obama policies. Hopefully the Republican Party will act before it is to late as in a comparable situation in Texas where the Republican Governor decided to not accept stimulus funding and now the state is paying for this mistake.
