Associated Press ^ | Feb. 21, 2010

WASHINGTON (AP) - The White House readied its last-ditch effort to salvage health care legislation while the Senate's Republican leader warned Democrats against the go-it-alone approach.

The White House was expected to post a version of President Barack Obama's plan for overhauling health care on its Web site on Monday, ahead of his critical and daring summit at Blair House on Thursday.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said Sunday he would participate, but that Obama and congressional Democrats would be "arrogant" to push the bills they wrote in the House and Senate.

I just bet the commiecare plan will have many of the nasty stuff out of it to make the GOP look bad.

You can damn well bet that when this atrocity is voted on, all that and worse will be back in there.

But...they will get away with it as they always do. America is paralyzed.

It’s going to be a real hoot to see how much KenyanCare is going to cost the U.S. taxpayers and the Red Chinese. Hold on to your wallets! Here comes “free” healthcare! This is gonna cost ya a lot “more than expected”!

So if O is making up his mind on Monday, what's the point of the summit on Thursday? (That's a rhetorical question...)

Imagine a world where lying does not exist. In such a world, this probably be close to Obama’s statement:

We’re going to write our version of this bill. You write your own version. Then during our “summit” we’ll explain in a very haughty tone why we have to have everything we want and you can’t have anything you want. If you disagree, we’ll blame the failure on you and claim you are not interested in helping people.

I can still hope the repubs make the dems own this mess..........The only reason they want bi partisan support is for political cover.

Let them own it, let them choke on it.

Without question, Zero has got to be the slowest learner in the history of mankind. The american public WANTS NO PART OF SOCIALIZED, GOVERNMENT-CONTROLLED HEALTHCARE, you braindead meat puppet.

Geesh... what part of NO are you not getting nitwit?!

I like that — CommieCare. It’s succinct, to the point.

Obama seems to think he is President, Legislature, AND Supreme Court. Or that he would suffice, if only the pesky others would get out of his way.

Let me guess: the plan will be bigger government, bigger deficits, higher costs, lower quality, and, of course, higher taxes. What a surprise!

Right on. The American Public has spoken. Any GOP member that shows up will be going against the will of the country that they swore an oath to defend. To do otherwise will be grounds for dismissal at the voting booth.

If Obama is actually submitting a proposal then it must go through the entire legislative process and the current bills,Pelosi or Reid, become void. Both houses must take up the bill, and it must follow the rules of each House, go to committee, hear testimony,offer amendments, etc.

If it involves taxation it must begin in the House, and the Senate can take no action until the House finalizes, as bills involving taxation and spending must originate in the HoR. This process could go on till the Fall.

AuschwitzCare would be an apt name for what he wants, IMO.

McConnel has no say in it. He never did.

I think it will be interesting to find out if they can even get a majority of Democrats to go along.

If I were McConnell, I would say I'm really in favor of health care reform. First let's help affordability. Let's start with tort reform. Then let's meet again after that passes and is signed into law.
