Webster defines democracy, in part, as majority rule. Our election of public officials reflects that definition. It appears that somewhere in the process, after the election, the will of the majority is set aside and the decisions of those elected to serve the majority become the decision-makers with little or no regard of the opinion of the majority. It is a sad commentary.
Congress and the president will decide an issue that will affect present and future generations with absolute disregard given to the will of the people.
It is unfortunate that our "wise" legislators and the president cannot develop a comprehensive health care bill, devoid of partisan secrecy and in understandable terms, that could be presented to the voters for a decision.
Frankly, I don't think our Congress and the president have that capability. It will be passed, all 1,900 pages, and few, if any, of our esteemed leaders will have read it.
What a joke.
