Democrats losing support on health care reform

David Axelrod went on the defense this morning on behalf of the White House as calls from the left have sprung up in the last 2 days to kill the senate health care bill. Former Vermont governor Howard Dean has emerged as the health care reform bill’s latest foe in the days since Joe Lieberman announced that he would not vote for a bill that included a public option or provisions for the expansion of Medicare.

With both the left and the right now rallying to end the health care reform effort, the clock is ticking as congress attempts to get something passed before Christmas. If the Senate does not succeed, congress may not have a second chance at this issue as public support for health care reform continues to plummet.
