Are you aware Republicans can't stop the current Health Care Reform from passing?
Pelosi can get the House together. Make a list of the changes that will get the Senate version passed by the House. The Senate Version of the Health Care Reform Bill can then be "tweaked" by the Senate through Reconciliation with just a 51 majority vote by the Senate.
Republicans can not Filibuster a Bill Reconciliation.
The American people are watching...................Everyone knows that if the Health Care Reform Bill does not pass, it is the Democrats fault, not the Republicans.
The minute the Senate Version of the Health Care Reform Bill passed the Senate, it was out of Repbulican hands to stop the bill from then on.
No excuses.
Where is the leadership Democrats???????????????????????????
Once the Health Care Reform Bill takes effect, 5 years down the road, the American people will demand the Legislation stay in place. The American people will never go back to Republican Pre Existing Condition Death Squads.

actually, the unique health care reformer replaced right into a Republican: Theodore Roosevelt The Republicans more effective do some thing about health care. the present device is in an inflationary bubble starting to be a lot faster than some thing else of the business device. This era has already realized what occurs even as bubbles bypass unchecked!

I don't want to see this health bill pass, it is not going to help those that need it. I don't give a good rat's behind whether it does or not.Our government is in a uproar the Democrats are screwed up as much as the Republicans, each party is trying to bring the other down. It has always been like this to a degree but since President Obama has taken office it is at it's worse.

No they cannot. Representative Pelosi told the Senate their version of the Health Bill cannot be supported by the House. The Senate told the House that their version of the bill could not be supported by the Senate.
Oh guess what.

Republicans can not Filibuster a Bill Reconciliation. TRUE
But "Reconciliation"has a 5 year shelf life and then it expires!
Sorry but your party is over, done, a lame duck!
Educating yourself can go a long way.
You actually learned something today.
That's a good thing.

After seeing the results in Mass., there will be enough Democrats in Congress that will not agree to the current proposals because it will kill their careers in November.
Instead of trying to catch a mole by dropping a nuclear bomb on an any city, why can't we try more strategic and targeted approaches to improving health care? I don't see why it's necessary to cram 2000+ pages of nonsense into one single all or nothing bill. Why can't we go step by step covering each aspect that needs to be improved and how to do it. That way we aren't taking such huge risks on untested major changes to a system that at least functions now if not ideal.

Are you aware that over 30 states have already said we will not adopt this bill IF it passes!
We the people CAN stop this "BS Loaded " bill
- Anonymous1 decade ago
I hope you pass it. It will ensure a conservative landslide victory in november after which point we will overturn your health care reform like the American people want.
