Health Care Reform

After the election in Massachusetts, it seems that HCR may be over. I find it contradictory that the same state that already had an overhaul of its health care system, may be the deciding factor for the rest of the nation. The Republican won because the people were rejecting Obama's health care reform. That's how the media was creating the narrative after Scott Brown won late Senator Kennedy's seat. However, an analysis at Pollster.com indicates that it was not that clear cut. Most exit polls show that Brown's voters were mixed to what was relevant to them. The economy, the way the government handled the bank's crisis, the candidate personality were all top tier issues for Brown's voters. On the other hand, most people who voted for the losing candidate, Democrat Martha Coakley, chose her because they were supporting the President's health care plan. So this time, the media may have it backwards.
