In the healthcare debate one group is claiming victory. We won! The other group can't wait for a new administration to come in and get rid of it.
No one has won as long as so many people are in conflict. What would be a no blaming approach?
When I step back I see that both sides have good points. I see that most people have not read it and are going by what they have heard. I see that, in many ways, this has turned into a pro or anti Obama thing, rather than a real debate about healthcare. It's not Obamacare. He did not create it by himself.
A no blaming approach would be to have a dialogue about what really needs to happen regarding healthcare in this country. From the start, this has been a partisan ping pong ball that has been smacked back and forth. Take the politics out and ask the question: "What would be best for all concerned? How do we balance the needs of people who need care with those of care providers, insurance companies, and state and federal governments?
As long as we are playing the blaming game there will be conflict that no one really wins.
