President Obama is getting high public support for the way he has dealt with the new health care law, even from some Republicans, in the 100 days since it was signed.
There are polls that are stating this.
But what still remains hazy is that would people actually see the benefits on ground before the elections due in November. Would these benefits, if any, would help Democrats who have supported the legislation and are being confronted by voters who feel that it is fiscally irresponsible and overly disturbing.
A snowstorm of regulations has been issued by the administration that includes a patient’s bill of rights. Insurance companies have been persuaded to make some changes as soon as possible. A team of insurance experts has been formed to help carry out the law. The White House would monitor it closely.
Stuart M. Butler, a vice president of the conservative Heritage Foundation said, “I give them an A for effort. But there are land mines down the road because the law is fundamentally flawed.”
Stephen E. Finan, a health economist at the American Cancer Society, said, “I am extremely impressed with what the administration has accomplished.”
As far as the insurers are concerned, they have asked Mr Obama to put similar pressure on doctors and hospitals.
