Backlash Against Obamacare

Obama's healthcare agenda hit some snags this week as moderate democrats in congress continue to express concerns over the cost of the program, and discrepancies were discovered by the Congressional Budget Office over the number of Americans who would actually end up getting insurance coverage under Obama's plan. And to further fan the flames, business groups who had also seemed open to healthcare reform initially are now openly criticizing the plan. To make matters worse, or at least more interesting, Forbes Magazine ran an article today quoting Obama's own former doctor expressing concern over his healthcare plan.

Despite all the fighting going on in Washington right now, House Democrats managed to unveil their healthcare plan this afternoon. As reaction to the plan rolls in, I would expect that the argument over healthcare reform is only beginning to heat up.
