Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi has put her money where her tomato eater is and promised to deliver the 51 votes needed to pass health reform. Out of literally nowhere, health reform is back on the table through a process called reconciliation where only 51 votes are needed to advance this legislation.
If it should pass, a very high percentage of the politicians will lose their seats as Americans have already lost patience with the Democrats and this will only make them madder. However Pelosi makes good sense when she says that it is not the job of Congresspeople to get reelected, it is instead their job to make laws. Too many of our legislators are only concerned with one thing which is reelection, and though this health reform is more flawed then Edward James Olmos face, it is all we have right now to get health insurance and health coverage to our fellow Americans who can simply no longer afford it.
Pelosi plans to make some changes to the Senate-backed bill in a matter of days, at which point she will work on selling it to the public.
When asked about the large opposition to this health care bill, Party-Time Pelosi admitted she has a lot of selling ahead of her. “The point is that we have a responsibility here. The Republicans have had a field day going out there and misrepresenting what is in the bill, but that’s what they do.”
But no matter how flawed this particular bill is, Pill Popper Pelosi must be applauded for not giving up this fight which is necessary and costly to her party.
Eric Cantor the Virginia Republican Representative made this stern warning: “I’ll tell you one thing: If Speaker Pelosi rams this bill through the House using a reconciliation process, they will lose their majority in Congress in November.”
“Out of literally nowhere, health reform is back on the table through a process called reconciliation where only 51 votes are needed to advance this legislation.”
Only 51 votes are needed now? How did this happen?
By the way, nice alliteration in the title
If the Democrat bill passes the House of Representatives then everybody that is employed in the Health Insurance industry will ultimately lose their jobs. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and the liberals have already begun the process of demonizing the insurance industry as the source of all of our problems. President Obama clearly wants the single payer option, which is demonstrated by the Senate bills incentives for employers to offload their employees onto the government rolls. Clearly, this is not about providing insurance for Americans, rather it is a socialistic game changer where bloated bureaucrats get to control all aspects of our lives under the guise of cost containment. When has the government ever lowered the cost of anything? Why was the cost of Medicare nine times more expensive than projected? Trusting this liberal government to do accomplish anything is simply a fools errand!
