Does it look like HCR is stopped? The media keeps talking about things
Edited on Sat Jan-23-10 06:25 PM by AlinPA
like "Dems mull health care options", etc. Dodd says to give up for a while, David Plouffe says let's go with it, Pelosi says we will reflect on it, Casey (PA) sounds wimpy....its taking forever to move a bill that passed 60-39 in the Senate. Steny Hoyer and Pelosi are not out front on this now.

Can't they just break it into two parts 1. financial and budgetary and 2. laws like pre-existing conditions, selling across state lines, etc and do 1 with reconciliation and do 2 with a straight up or down vote?

It is very confusing. No wonder people on both sides of it are pissed or impatient.

2. It may be a very good idea for them to take a month or two to reflect,
deeply reflect.

3. Plouffe says do it now and quickly, not let go on it.
Harry and Nancy are working on what they could agree to pass through Reconcilliation if the House passed the Senate Bill. Nancy is going to present that to the caucus on Monday.
