The Standard counts no fewer than 53 Dems on record as having problems with the House bill, but so lopsided is the blue majority that the GOP would need to peel off 40 of them to block it. Thats not going to happen on Obamas signature policy initiative. Assuming their objections are economic in nature, Pelosi will simply shower the fencesitters with legislative goodies until enough of them are willing to choke down ObamaCare.
But what if their objections are based on something more profound than economics?
Democratic Rep. Bart Stupak said he is optimistic that his campaign to include explicit language condemning the use of federal funds for abortion in the House health care bill will pass the House Energy and Commerce Committee. The congressman from Michigan did however say on todays Washington Unplugged that the House will likley not vote on the bill before their July 31st deadline.

We should call all of the Dem politicians in our respective states and let them know they are hanging out there alone, and they will be unable to blame Republicans as we have been frozen out.
Let em know their healthcare will be limited and more expensive in order to give free health care to 20 million illegal immigrants.

Thanks, don-o
Thier plan is to get illegals all in here, give ‘em health care, and then unionize them into the Service Employees Union primarily, then gradually they will increase the number of people paying into SS.
They further plan to disolve Medicare, Medicaid and the VA health plan into one giant clumsy gubbmint monolithe; all this a giant shell game to disguise the fact that none of these programs were ever sustainable. They’ll just keep moving the money until they can continue to lie about the problems there in, or until all with a memory of the truth are dead.

Pelosi will get the votes she needs if she has to start murdering opponents on the streets of DC. Well, at least there's precedent for that. He was a Democrat, too:

Still, whether or not it's "helpful" it's true.
The problem is with the Democrats, not us. Time for them to develop a moral code.

That's the point. The federal government is not required to and does not balance a budget, much less make a profit. It can operate in the red until it undercuts and ultimately destroys private medical insurance, guaranteeing that it will be the last option standing.
