MSNBC is now running a crawl saying (I’m paraphrasing) that the vote may be delayed beyond Sunday if the Dems can’t nail down 216. This is the first time I’ve seen this, interesting, do you think Nancy is starting to cover her rear?

When it’s all said and done ObamaCare is going to cost over 3 trillion dollars a year.

They know allot of the docs would quit or opt out of any government reimbursement. Docs can only give away so much charity care and medicaid, which is basically the same thing.

Messaging the doc fix

"Chris Frates reports that Democrats won over the AMA and other groups with a promise to do the "doc fix" -- a widely-supported increase to Medicare reimbursement rates -- later this year.

The move is independent of the health care reform efforts and they're straining to keep it that way, because it would get in the way of the promise that the reform legislation cuts the deficit, and the memo Frates has makes that point rather explicitly:

The inclusion of a full SGR repeal would undermine reform’s budget neutrality. So again, do not allow yourself (or your boss) to get into a discussion of the details of CBO scores and textual narrative. Instead, focus only on the deficit reduction and number of Americans covered."

My DOC apparently didn’t get the memo. In a bad mood.

I saw an interview w Greta VS and Sen Landrieu about this very issue. Greta kept asking, "why wasn't this (the Doc Fix) factored in with the total cost of the bill? Is it because it would take you over the 1 trillion mark?"

Landrieu balked and talked in politiko-speak...she had no serious answer, but maintained a brave face. They're truely trying to pass this with smoke and mirrors.

I am certain there are people inside the Democrat Party and the liberal media who want to scuttle this, because they know it is going to end up exiling them from power for a couple of generations. Hence I think the leaker was a loyal Democrat.

guess their back up to the $1.2 trillion bill dear leader proposed...and that’s probably just half of it...

does the GOP have any recourse with the CBO??? Can they go back to the CBO with this and demand a retraction, recalculation, statement from the CBO???
