Senate Democrats do not expect to vote on the ObamaCare fix the House approved on Friday with 39 Democratic votes, according to a senior Democratic aide.
The aide said there is not any pressure on the Senate Democratic leadership to bring the legislation sponsored by Rep. Fred Upton (R-Mich.) to the floor.
"There is a difference between constructive fixes designed to improve the law and bills that would gut it,” said the senior Democratic aide. “The Upton bill is the latter.”

That might be why Harry wouldn’t allow it to be brought up - he ALREADY knows who will defect...
Yes, that is true.
Thank you, Chief Justice John Roberts!
Disgraced, lousy Chief Botcher!
So now Reid owns this mess with Obama. GOOD!
Can someone bring Madame Guillotine to the floor`
Pretty please?
With sugar on?
This is the best political outcome. Repubs showed concern by trying to modify the ACA passing legislation in the HR. Dems in the Senate and the President showed that they don’t care about people with cancelled policies. The Obamacare disaster rolls right along. I expect that people will have to feel the pain from it before it finally sinks in. Too bad responsible people have to suffer along with the other obamabots, but it can’t be avoided now.
TRANSLATION: They are scared it might pass, better to trash it.
Ok, Now Boehner needs to vote on a REPEAL bill!..
CLUSTER ____ ! Add your own word(s)
butter nut fudge
Completely agree. All along the Reps were taking vote upon vote to deal with this bill. Dems refused. With every refusal the are screwing Americans in behalf of their ideology. THis is going to get worse for them each and every day. I hope they get oblitarated next Fall.
Yeah, he didn’t want it to be “out” as to how weak the president now is.
This is fine as long as the House doesn’t fall for the democrats usual game, talking the House into negotiating with itself over and over until they pass something the Senate and President will “accept.”
November of next year is one day closer every day!! 354 days to go!
Great 2014 Pol Poster,word Dem needs to be in there some where
Which will help them in their re-election bids.
I looked at the list of Democrats who voted for the Upton bill. I know at least one of them, Scott Peters (D-Calif)was beatable. He barely beat incumbent Bilbray (R) in 2010. Now Peters can claim he had nothing to do with 0bamacare and tried to save his constituents. Not good.
