yes it did it allows these dems to go out and say it was bipartisan..
Do u really think that will help them? The sad truth is this:
The only people that will fall for that propaganda are the same people, when polled, believe the Republicans run and have a majority in Congress. Those people aren't EVER going to vote Republican.
On top of that, running around and bragging about this bill being bipartisan will only anger people in the know. In fact, it will probably push some conservative Dems into Republican hands because of their insincerity.
And on top of all that: how many people do you think really care about "bipartisanship" when it comes to their healthcare? Most people only care about how it effects them and their family. Anybody that actually gets swayed to support this healthcare thing because of one word, "bipartisanship", are losers that really don't matter- and will never support anything conservative to begin with.
