[Senate Vote Update: Passed 60 Aye 39 No] Senate Poised to Pass Health Care Reform (Live 7AM)

WASHINGTON -- Senate Democrats are poised to pass a landmark health care bill that could define President Barack Obama's legacy and usher in near-universal medical coverage for the first time in U.S. history.

Ahead lie complex talks with the House to reach final legislation in the new year.

"We stand on the doorstep of history," said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, a Nevada Democrat. "We recognize that, but much more importantly, we stand so close to making so many individual lives better."

The vote Thursday on the bill extending health care coverage to some 31 million uninsured Americans brings Obama closer to achieving his top domestic priority. The White House and Congress have now come farther toward the goal of a comprehensive overhaul of the U.S. health care system than any of their predecessors.

But the final step may be the hardest: reconciling the Senate bill with a significantly different version already approved in November by the House of Representatives.

I thought it was one of the two Conservative ‘R’ Senators from Oklahoma who went home early. Was I mistaken?

I thought it was one of the two Conservative ‘R’ Senators from Oklahoma who went home early - I read something about that here on FR yesterday. Was I mistaken?

“we stand so close to making so many individual lives better.” (Reid’s, Boxer’s, Kerry’s, Webb’s, Frank’s, Dodd’s, etc.)

It seems
to me that
there are
much more
important
matters on
our plate
 these days
than health
care reform
Job creation....should be job....one Creating....a very friendly........climate for
small business...is critical This...bill will burden....all businesses........People are
struggling now...More burden......is not what.....they need, and........this bill will
cause more.....burden to fall......on them It is.....my hope the.........House will
sink this mon-..strosity It's all......that stands.......between the........Leftists and
the general.....public We can....only hope and....pray that the......changes in
the Senate bill have made this police state health care monstrosity..unacceptable
to Democrat members of the House.  For if they can sign on, we're doomed.



Nancy, Harry, other Democrats who can sign on to this socialist agenda,
this post is for you from the American public.
We're not happy about this, and one way
or another, we're going to stick it right
back to the folks who flipped us off
 with this unConstitutional piece of
excrement.  You will be sorry for
your socialist vision will be crush-
ed.  The American public will not
stand for this. The Leftist move-
ment in the United States, will be
crushed by the revelation of what
it wants to implement in the U.S.
So thank you.  We couldn't have
done what comes next, without
you. November 2010 commeth!

American’s don’t have the stomach for it. In the past year, if I realized anything, that is it. The majority don’t have clue what is going on. This has been planned for a generation. The Republic is lost.

Not yet. Never give up. Don’t EVER give up.

Reid says they are standing on the doorstep of history:

I say he is right- this could very well be a trigger that sets this country into another Civil War.

Makes you wonder if John Titor was only off by four years in his predictions;

"The President or "leader" in 2005(2009) I believe tried desperately to be the next Lincoln(Obama) and hold the country together but many of their policies(Healthcare) drove a larger wedge into the Bill of Rights. The President in 2009(2013) was interested only in keeping his(Obama)/her(Pelosi? Hillary? Palin?) power base." - John Titor circa 2000

I will not let 60 A-holes take away my country

Pssttt..... they already did. The land is here, the republic and Constitution are dead.

NO. This is NOT over. You can hunker down, as you see fit. I’m headin’ into the breach...we’ll talk next December. Who’s with me?

The Death Panel.

[SeattleBruce]

Now he wants to change the rules of the Senate

Yes, I saw that...keep overreaching bammy, you lame duck marxist. Full scale REVOLT ahead.

60 people traitorous scumbags just told 318 million people to...

Fixed it.

Allright folks, it looks grim but IT IS NOT OVER. This is just the vote in the House of Lords (US). It must be reconciled with the house bill and voted on again before being signed into law by "commander zero".

We've got to rev it up and contact more normal folks to contact their congress critters and tell them NO!

Just give them the facts as we know them now:

Unless the Stupak amendment is kept it pays for elective abortion up to the time of birth.

It starts raising taxes now but doesn't go into affect until 2013-14, that's how they hide the true cost.

It cuts Medicare despite increasing rolls.

The real number of chronically uninsured citizens is about 15 million not "zero's" original 47 million. He now says 30 million. Where did 17 million disappear to?

Do the math using their made up numbers. 1 trillion divided by 30 million divided by 10 years is $3,000 per person per year. (Someone please check the math).

This bill has over 2,000 pages, many, many more than the Constitution and the Bible.

Remember, stuff happens, comes out of the blue to throw a monkey wrench into the best laid plans. Think Climategate.

Excellent summary and certainly worth re-posting.
Thanks for that!

That is just the point - those evil types have NEVER had ANY gratitude! Not a day in their sorry, misbegotten lives!

Like their master, [our adversary, formerly Lucifer] they have weaned themselves upon Envy and Resentment, they rage and gnash their teeth at the mere thought that we would be unwilling to enable their lifestyles of Slothfulness, to pay for them to indulge their Spirit of murder - their bloodlust for the unborn.

They hate life - especially that life so innocent and pure - so fresh from the Presence of the Holy One, because it reminds them of the Estate they have lost and cannot regain.

Heaven will not judge them kindly

Thanks for the ping. I watched the doings from my couch.
Mitch’s remarks were good. First Chrsitmas Eve vote in a century.

Merry CHRISTmas!

I’m not flying my flag again until we take back our country.

Mine went down after the election last November, except for Veteran's Day, etc...

“When the younger people start seeing taxes and inflation shoot upward to pay for all this democrat ideology, that’s when the GOP will make a big comeback. The Republican party has a very good chance of winning control of the House in 2010 if we just keep pounding on economic issues and keep pushing for lower taxes, lower spending, and more economic freedom for Americans.”

Sixty-six percent (66%) of voters prefer a smaller government with fewer services and lower taxes over a more active government with more services and higher taxes.

[SeattleBruce]

By the way, these are truly staggering numbers. Let’s TAP into this huge majority!

[Cheerio]

They can’t fund it without tax dollars.

Sure they can - just order Bernake to crank up the printing press. No problem there, they have this all figured out and are not as stupid as some GOP claim. The RATS are just laying the cement foundation and it will take a massive bunch of jack hammers to knock this down, even if it can be done. The RATS have put tons of re-bar in this foundation, both directly and some items are not seen by the public. IF this is signed into law it can be repealed on the same day of the week that Medicare, Medicaid, and Socialism Security are repealed. RATS want 51% of the total American population to be dependent on THEM forever and they keep their margins in each election. The 51% can include 30 million illegal aliens because the are promising them the moon and the sky also. The is the GIMMIE GENERATION.

Going GALT.

[Scythian]

Nicely done !! So true too ...

[DoughtyOne]

Thanks Scythian.
