News conference now... we're working to save America from the healthcare crisis... we're going back into meeting now... no one should be without health insurance... Now Hoyer speaking... Americans are being fed a lot of misinformation, as they were 16 years ago when we tried this before... this is long overdue... we will work on this until it's done... we will work until all Americans can get healthcare...
Short version: Pelosi doesn't have the votes.
Jonathan Allen, Congressional Quarterly: some other congressmen still not on board, either... I think the House will be able to pass "something" this year, but not the current bill...
Best thing she did was to compare it to the Hillary Clinton Healthcare program which the Nation told Congress, No but H*LL NO!
When the Congressmen get back in their districts, they are going to get an earful and she may not be able to peel away enough votes to pass if they want to get reelected.
Translation: Americans are learning the truth.
Here is a link to the full House Democrat Health Care Plan in PDF. In Section 1233 E & F, pages 426-433, you find the part about mandatory end-of-life counseling for anyone over 65 years of age. Section 152 Page 50: All healthcare services will be provided without regard to "personal characteristcs" which is not defined within the document but is understood to include immigration status.
A lot more provisions now being documented at that site.

Also, here's a large image of the Democratic (Obama) Health Plan chart-another Obama empty promise. This is the one the House democrats are censuring. Email these links or the image to everyone you know.
Obama and all those pushing his radical agenda are abject marxist ideologues. Their "fundamental; change" is nothing more than a destruction of the American free market and fundamental republican principle.

...and on the lighter side, take your mind off the Obamanation for a few minutes and enjoy some beautiful Western US scenery slideshows.
One more face lift and she'll orgasm everytime she sneezes.
Obscure reference alert: she looks like the woman in the movie Brazil. Can someone post a photo of Kathryn Helmond in the part?
Pelosi pissed away all her punch arm-twisting Cap ‘n Trade.
Even the democrats know they are being played by the ego of this POS president. $1.6 TRILLION additional spending on top of a $1.8 TRILLION ONE YEAR deficit and a “jobless recovery”.
Indeed.
Nan’s floggings have lost their effect.
Geez, does anyone even know what they are voting on yet? , and then to think she wants it passed this week. Is she high?
GD
Did you notice how Pelosi was playing the “Marilyn Monroe breathless” way of talking.
I was laughing. She is nuts!
“”””healthcare crisis”””””
What crisis? I didn’t know there was a crisis.
Only reason to have this is because she doesn’t have the votes, if she did they’d be forcing it to the floor.
Fauxbama, Reid and Pelosi have lost ever bit of political capital they had with this fiasco... Lame Ducks before the end of the year.
RTB-Thank you and very timely at that!
No probs! ;-)
May we expect the resignation of Queen Bee Nanacy from the position of Speaker of the House, and her further resignation from her seat representing the 8th District of California, after Labor Day?
Because the abuse from the Democrats when they come back from August recess, reflecting the resistance to this health bill, will be overwhelming for persons with even a very thick skin. A vote of “no confidence” would be devastating even for the most hardened, and she may be a little more sensitive than that.
7/18 interview of Rep. Pingree on this issue by John McDonald on WGAN.
John asks why the hurry on passing ObamaCare? Why not postpone the vote? Rep. Pingree says because Congress's recess after August 1 gives those opposing ObamaCare five-weeks to speak with Members of Congress in their home districts.
Pingree also says citizens don't need to read the bill. The only people who need to read the bill are politicians and people in the health industry.
So, they know they'll get lots of arm twisting from their constituents but their constituents are too stupid to form an intelligent opinion on the legislation.
