saying it doesn't do enough to lower the cost of health care.The way for the federal government to lower the cost of health care is to A) get out of health care and stay out of health care, and B) tort reform. Thanks icwhatudo.
This should be a rough weekend for Obama. He picked Kansas to win the NCAA basketball tourney and they were eliminated today by Northern Iowa (lol).
Obamacare will lose too.
My guess is these “no” votes coming at the last minute probably indicates they have the votes to pass the bill, and some are being allowed by Pigloswine to vote no.
Headline: Nye to vote Nay
Upfront_News Fox News: Democratic Rep. Michael Arcuri switches vote to ‘no’ on health care.
As I have predicted at least 2 or 3 times, the vote will be Apr 3, Easter weekend. Tommorow, when Thelma Louise Pelosi is unable to count 216+, the vote will be postponed, two weeks from today.
He was undecided, and incorrect reports that I bought earlier this evening had him as no-yes switch.
thankfully that was wrong.
However, he also opposed climate change legislation according to The Hill, so it would seem he is fairly conservative perhaps (as a Dem).
He was undecided, so while not a switch, he was not part of the Stupak group....his vote was critical to offset any more losses.
If this doesn’t pass none of these last minute “No’s” should get any credit. In fact, they should be more of a target for trying to play the hero when they knew the outcome and knew they would vote yes if they had to.
firedoglake, a liberal blog, has the count at 209 no, 204 yes.
This is a very exciting weekend.
Agent provocateurs.
He’s voting no because it “doesn’t do enough.” In other words he wants a ride on Air Force One.
