US Health Care Paradox: It should be smooth sailing for health care in America after Obama's proclamation to send more troops to Afghanistan this week. Why? Because he is building bridges. If the Republicans at West Point and in the two houses aren't satisfied with the presidential strategy by now, they would gain from looking up the word democracy at their first convenience. Obama has delivered his part to satisfy Republicans. He provides more troops to further secure the troops already in Afghanistan - in order to resolve the situation faster. Now it would suit Republicans to give back for what they got. So if Republicans aren't politically tone deaf (and they shouldn't be), Obama's Health Care Reform becomes a reality before the end of this month. PN predicts that Republicans with both heart and head will vote for the reform plan, as well as the dissatisfied Democrats with both heart and head. This is the logic of the constant democratic balance act and the inevitable political trade-off, negotiated in any democracy: If you endanger the lives of troops abroad (though now more secure than before) - you must secure lives at home so much more. Votes will determine that. There will be no Jacksonian - without a share of Jeffersonian to balance it. WETHEPEOPLE will ensure that.
