The house has begun the votes on HC reform, and they are currently voting on the procedural rules for the debate.
Last night I heard that they were whipping the last votes and were around 10 short. Thanks to NY, Rep. Owens brings the House to 258 Democrats and 177 Republicans.
It looks like it will be 4 hours of debate, and there should be lots of Highlarity...
Chime in if you get a chance...
looks like there will be 2 amendments...one anti-abortion, and then the republicon alternative...

He is now quoting our nation's anthem, the star spangled banner,"God bless America, land that I love..."
Really enjoying the opportunity to listen to Republicans mutter a buncha horseshit.
ReplyDeleteJoe Barton [R-TX]: health care bill is "an imposition on human freedom in America."

ReplyDeleteNo doubt we all remember Rob Andrews [D-NJ] from his failed attempt to usurp Frank Lautenberg's Senate Seat via a South Jersey primary insurgency?
