Too many members of the House will NOT vote for it barring changes FIRST made by the Senate. The distrust among Democrats in the House and in the Senate is INCREDIBLE. That's why The Slaughter Solution (whereby the House passes a RULE which DEEMS that the Senate bill has been passed and therefor the House Dems have only to vote for the "rule" not the bill itself would enable Blue Dog Dems to say they didn't vote for the Senate Version,they only voted for a rule, is tissue thin at best. and absoluely unconstitutional under Article I, Section 7 of the Constitution. And IF it passes,those lucky enough to have to pay taxes (i.e, are employed at a decent salary) will have to pay MORE taxes NOW and those poor elderly and disabled on Medicare will see their benefits CUT NOW and their premiums RISE NOW, BUT no one will recieve any benefits for FOUR YEARS.<br />And four years is two congressional elections, about 50 Senate Elecions and of course the WH election BEFORE ANY "BENEFITS" kick in for those who can't afford to pay for health care insurance.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872610766194613385.post-14706449445340000942010-03-14T22:28:19.453-04:002010-03-14T22:28:19.453-04:00beachrat:

I think he is right that it is going to pass. Which beyond the obvious issue, it will then cause a constitutional crisis. If this does indeed pass, we will end up seeing the Supreme Court getting involved; it is going to get ugly. <br /><br />Are you coming down to DC on Tuesday? If so, I will send you my text number so we can meet up if you would like.

Result: people back down, don't vote, don't march, don't make their voice heard. <br /><br />Trouble with this is that we are onto them, and no one among the loyal opposition is backing off or down. This is about AMERICA as we know and love her; do they honestly believe this crap will stop us? Hmph!Fuzzy Slippershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13021615731454709413noreply@blogger.com
