I have to disagree. I have seen plenty of Blue Dogs on tv and all are vocally against the bill. So, they don’t have the votes. Now, if the bill were transformed suddenly, then maybe, but I doubt that will happen overnight.
Senior Democrat says no consensus on health bill...
WASHINGTON (AP) - House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer says House Democrats are struggling to reach consensus on overhauling health care, a divide that could delay House approval of a plan beyond lawmakers’ scheduled vacation in August.
House leaders have said they wanted to pass a plan before they leave on a monthlong break. But Hoyer, D-Md., said Tuesday there is still disagreement on proposed tax increases on the wealthy, and whether to establish a government-run insurance program to compete with private plans.
Hoyer said House Democrats will continue to negotiate in private, with the goal of passing a plan next week. He downplayed the idea of keeping lawmakers in session while negotiations continue, but wouldn’t rule it out.
