The national healthcare debate, ’winger pseudo-debate aside, gets more interesting by the day. The latest? The Obama Administration’s claim that a deal with Big Pharma is NOT written in stone, at least not in the details.
Ultimately, though, this gets back to two problems with the Administration.
One, of course, is that Obama simply didn’t show enough leadership at the start of the legislative process. And, what statements he did make were themselves not written in stone as to priorities, non-negotiables, etc.
Second is an overstaffed White House staff, in my opinion. Who speaks with what authority, what clearance, and what advance interoffice communication? Details in the article show these are all continuing issues.
