Fast-Tracking Health Care Reform

Filed under: Health Care,Politics — DRJ @ 5:07 pm

CNS News reports there may be a plan to fast-track approval of health care legislation that would bypass the House-Senate conference committee:

“Under the plan, as previously reported by CNSNews.com, Reid would attach a final Senate health reform plan to H.R. 1586, a bill that currently taxes bonuses paid to bailed-out bank executives. If the effort survived a filibuster, Reid would then send it to the House, which could vote on it directly and then send to President Obama, bypassing the conference-negotiating process and the public scrutiny that comes with it.”

It sounds like the ball is in Harry Reid’s court. How many GOP Senators will vote to limit taxes on bailed-out bankers’ bonuses in order to stop health care from passing? My guess is not enough.

  1. Must be because Reid knows in his heart of hearts that the American REALLY WANT to cede 1/6th of our economy to Congress, whether they know it or not. Why, it’s for their own good, doncha know. People are dying in the streets fer gooness sake. Congress has to step in and exercise their parental responsibility.

    Plus, Obama really needs a win.
