WASHINGTON – House and Senate Democrats intend to bypass traditional procedures when they negotiate a final compromise on health care legislation, officials said Monday, a move that will exclude Republican lawmakers and reduce their ability to delay or force politically troubling votes in both houses.
The unofficial timetable calls for final passage of the measure to remake the nation's health care system by the time President Barack Obama delivers his State of the Union address, probably in early February.

This should be hung around the neck of Kay Bailey Hutchinson...her vote was critical in getting this to fruition.

The Dems want to own it 100%. Ironically, there are probably a few RINO's that'd sign on if they were pursued, but it's really better that the democrats own 100% of the destruction of the US that they're perpetrating right now.

Right!
They did this once before over another bill a year or more ago. Nancy and Harry worked it out w/o Pubbies at the table and then on a straight party line ... passed it.

Will Minority Leader McConnell abandon his fight against it to allow the Senate to break for their Groundhog Day recess early?

They never going to meet with Republicans anyways, but somehow the MSM touts this as a brand new development ..”Dems wagging their finger at the Republicans. Don't you oppose free health care pasty white racists.” 5th column once again changing the subject for the Muslim Interloper in Chief.

The Republicans should bypass traditional procedures and not attend the State of the Union Address.

Not only do Democrats intend to bypass the GOP, but also they intend to bypass the U.S. Constitution and the will of the American public.

Democrats have absolutely nothing to lose. If they are not victorious in their pursuit of Socialism, they still have the Liberties we’re fighting to retain.
