Stupak has cancelled his press conference today, which would indicate that the deal is dead. Pelosi couldn’t make it work.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Congressional budget scorekeepers say a Medicare fix that Democrats included in earlier versions of their health care bill would push it into the red. The Congressional Budget Office said Friday that rolling back a programmed cut in Medicare fees to doctors would cost $208 billion over 10 years. If added back to the health care overhaul bill, it would wipe out all the deficit reduction, leaving the legislation $59 billion in the red. The so-called doc fix was part of the original House bill. Because of its high cost, Democrats decided to pursue it separately. Republicans say the cost should not be ignored. Congress has usually waived the cuts to doctors year by year.

Not gonna bless stupak. He knew from the gitgo the abortion language would be kicked out by the senate, but he voted for this monster anyway. Remember, it only passed by ONE vote. If any of these pr!cks were serious about anything, we wouldn’t be in this mess to begin with. A pox on ALL of them!
By the way. My GOD rule was in effect today. It goes like this.
If you try to do something and something totally unforeseen happens out of the blue, that is strike one.
If you figure out a way to solve that problem and something totally unforeseen happens again, pay attention. Someone is trying to tell you something.
If you figure out how to solve the second problem and something unforseen happens yet again, it’s GOD saying, “NOPE!”
And I pay attention to that because every single time I have gone ahead afer the third warning, there has been trouble up the wazoo.
That is when I turned us around and headed home.
