You know damn well they're trying to sell ObamaLosi Care to the "no votes" bribing them with "everything which way to Sunday", which we need to watch like hawks once they flip, in order to see what their prices were ... all the while the press is at their weekend homes in the Hamptons over the weekend staying out of their hair ..........except Fox.
My Yahoo!: WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama made a last-minute personal appeal to Democrats to pass landmark health care legislation Saturday as the House opened debate on a bill to expand coverage to millions of the uninsured.
Emerging from a closed-door meeting with the president, Speaker Nancy Pelosi predicted passage of the bill later in the day, adding, "We will pass health care reform."
"He came here to say, `This is what we said we would do in the campaign. Let's do it,'" Majority Leader Steny Hoyer said after the meeting
Obama made his trip to the Capitol complex as abortion rights lawmakers voiced anger at a last-minute concession granted to foes of the procedure, who were given a vote on their proposal for stronger restrictions on abortion coverage.
"There is a risk" that some in the Pro-Choice Caucus would vote against the legislation if the stricter curbs are adopted, said Rep. Diana DeGette, D-Colo.
The bill would cost $1.2 trillion over the next decade. It would provide health coverage to tens of millions of Americans who don't have it now, require most employers to offer it to their workers and prohibit insurance companies from denying coverage based on a person's medical history.
"The status quo is unaffordable and unsustainable. Health care reform benefits all of us," said Rep. Allyson Schwartz, D-Pa., as debate opened on the House floor.
House passage of the bill is crucial if Obama is to accomplish his top domestic priorty and fulfill the biggest promise of his campaign last year. But the legilation still faces multiple hurdles and a Senate vote on it might not occur until next year.
Republicans were united in their opposition to the bill. continued
And if they wanna be re elected, they had better stay opposed to it, so if and when it passes, the dems own it...
That way, when it collapses the economy among other unintended consequences of this screwed up attempt at buying votes in exchange for free health care for mostly people who don't need it ....(taking it from those who already do, and I know because I'm one of them) the conservatives can remain free from voter's ire on both sides when they shut it down eventually do to it's astronomical costs and fraud.
PS Notice the spelling error in the last AP paragraph above where they spelled legislation incorrectly....nice....
