Declaring victory at this juncture would be premature and foolish.

Still, there are growing signs that liberal plans to convert America’s health care into a Marxist HMO funded by Chinese communists are being vanquished.

Right wing extremists and good old-fashioned patriots appear to have regained their voices and cajole/##### powers.

And that is a good thing!

As reported at Yahoo.news, in part:

“WASHINGTON – Bowing to Republican pressure, President Barack Obama’s administration signaled on Sunday it is ready to abandon the idea of giving Americans the option of government-run insurance as part of a new health care system.

“Facing mounting opposition to the overhaul, administration officials left open the chance for a compromise with Republicans that would include health insurance cooperatives instead of a government-run plan. Such a concession probably would enrage Obama’s liberal supporters but could deliver a much-needed victory on a top domestic priority opposed by GOP lawmakers.

“Officials from both political parties reached across the aisle in an effort to find compromises on proposals they left behind when they returned to their districts for an August recess.

“Obama had sought the government to run a health insurance organization to help cover the nation’s almost 50 million uninsured, but he never made it a deal breaker in a broad set of ideas that has Republicans unified in opposition.â€
