It’s not over. This is not the vote Lieberman said he’d go against the Dems on. This vote allows the bill to be debated. We knew debate would occur, didn’t you?

The big vote is the one to end debate(the Republican filibuster) which requires 60 votes. Debate, especially endless debate is good and kills the bill.

They only need 51 to pass it now... thats the problem... They easily have 51 radical leftwingers who don’t care and are either not up for re-election or are in Liberal safe havens....

We are screwed... The fight is over.

Don't be so sure it is not all over.

Can’t they just resub as appropriations bill and get it with only 51 votes?

Watch the Demonrats use “reconciliation” to avoid having to accept a 60 member vote to prevent a filibuster.

Best thing to do right now is to target all RINOs and all Democrats where there is a good chance of unseating them in the Senate, and also in the House.

I have a new defibrillator/pacemaker in my chest, and my father-in-law, an Iwo veteran, just had his pacemaker recharged. These were already paid for so there is no sane reason except greed to tax them at higher rates for anyone in the future.

This will hurt both the needy patient and the insurance company that covers these expenses. My insurance company, Blue Cross/Blue Shield Anthem has been wonderful in covering my cardiac arrest/resuscitation, and subsequent stent implant, pneumonia, and the defibrillator.

Damned these cowards and communists in Congress.

Let the new American revolution begin with a purge of our political enemies and the cowards in our own ranks.

Thanks for some words of hope. I’ll keep researching while I hope you are right. As I brought up before, if this government health bill goes against the intentions of the U.S. Constitution, why can’t we band together and file a class action lawsuit against it?
