American Anger is forcing Changes in Health Care Reform

President Barack Obama will address the Veterans of Foreign Wars' national convention in Phoenix today, as his allies in Washington assess how much the White House raised the white flag on some key provisions of the health care bill in order to get it passed when Congress reconvenes in a few weeks.

While the president toured the Grand Canyon with his family Sunday, members of his administration made rounds addressing the chasm between what they want in the proposed health care overhaul and what they can get passed. Facing false charges of a death panel rationing life-saving care and killing off seniors, the administration says the end-of-life care provisions in the bill may be eliminated.

Responding to critics who say they're uneasy about end-of-life care being discussed within the context of cost, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius insisted "it isn't about cost-cutting." - ABC News Story

Some Democrats are starting to get it. They were believing their own BS for too long. The anger at town halls they thought they could blame on Republicans, but their falling polling numbers, the continued outrage, has made some sit up and figure it out.

You can go along with Pelosi, Reid and Obama, or protect your own Political Future and do the right thing.
