Okay, the Baucus Bill looks like it is DOA. Liberals hate it. Conservatives hate it. Yet they will waste a lot of time (a good thing) now in the Senate marking it up. However, it looks like it will ultimately fail due to the massive opposition to it.
Okay, I'm curious. What happens if/when the Baucus bill fails as it now looks like will be the likely outcome? Can the Senate as a whole cobble together a new ObamaCare bill and how long would that take? As to HR3200, it appears that the House wants to wait until the Senate puts out their bill first because too many congressmen don't want to commit themselves before the 2010 election.
Soooo... What are your predictions for an ObamaCare bill timeline? I don't have an exact prediction, just the hope that all the wrangling goes on and on into next year until it is too late to pass any ObamaCare bill before the next election.
I still flip through the old Dilbert compendium, laughing at the insanity of corporate life. So glad I’m out that now. Corporations are just as bad as government. The big ones, anyway.
Sheet music in the form of a telemprompter. I was wondering last week during his speech to Congress what would have happened if his telemprompter had broken down. Would have have just stood there blankly waiting for it to start working again or killed time with jokes or what?
And what happens if NO ObamaCare bill before Christmas recess? What happens then? Does it die next year or do they renew the effort to try to pass it.
They will pass something. Obama’s presidency depends on it. So yes they will renew their efforts after Xmas if it doesn’t pass before then. The Dems have overwhelming control in Congress. They don’t need any Rep votes.
Judging from past episodes, he’d stammer and jabber like a twit in a Monty Python skit.
