WASHINGTON (Reuters) – House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi said on Friday the final version of a broad healthcare overhaul would include a revamp of the student loan program but not a government-run health insurance option.

.
America is rapidly sinking to third world status in the quality of national governance.
So, what do Student Loans have to do with Healthcare?
I suppose we should add a chicken in every pot, a car in every driveway and a 96” HDTV for every family too?
This government has to be stopped. It is pissing on the Constitution every day. Our faux President is a communist. It has to stop.
They aren’t loans, they’re grants.
Enough already!!! More than enough money down the drain.
They should just be honest and call it the Omnibus Communization of Everything Act of 2010.
BEWARE!! These freaks will do ANYTHING!!
This Democrat bill looks like another gigantic piñata full of freebies for the leeches
“revamp of the student loan program” = a government socialist takeover, not unlike Hugo Chavez
What happened to “no pork” in the bill mantra hmmm?
It's not that difficult and it creates responsibility and a sense of self reliance....but noooo we can't have that, now can we.
They are putting any form of lipstick on that pig trying to get it passed, knowing the extra stuff (the actual reconciliation bill) has no chance of ever passing. They simply want the (mostly blank) Senate bill passed so they can say X was already in it.
I just don’t get it. How can they make ANY changes? I thought they have to vote on the senate bill in the house and then vote (or skip) on the reconciliation package of spending changes. What are they doing????
Does anybody know if she has the votes or not? I hear different things everyday.
Why not simply add Congressional Democrats and Obama as life time appointments while you are at it, you bunch of sick’o Commie Btards!
Did the Senate vote on this or are we just going to pretend they did and reconcile? Shoosh folks, they have gone over the edge.
Since the House has changed the Senate bill it will GO BACK to the United States Senate where the Republicans will fillibuster it to death.
The Republicans need to cover their backsides and get the House Parliamentarian to rule that adding the Student Loan provisions changes the bill and that it must be sent back to the United States Senate for another vote.
This is a smart move on San Fran Nan’s part.
She and the Democrats in the House can pin the demise of Obamacare on those obstructionists of the Party of No: The Senate Republicans.
She gets a ‘twofer’ here: Blame the United States Senate and blame the Republican party for killing Obamacare.
Far better to make this play the endgame then to have the Senate Bill die in San Fran Nan’s House. This, of course, assumes that she can get 216 votes and the latest whip count shows she only has 189 ‘Yes’ votes and is bleeding support every day.
It’s dead Jim.
Doesn’t matter, they have to pass the SENATE version first, then it will be HAND carried to the WH for obambi to sign into law. Keep those phones ringing, even if your rep is a republican call them and tell them in no uncertain terms HELL NO to any health care bill.
IF you believe that I’ve a prime piece of ocean front property in the GOBI desert to sell at a reasonable price.

Code Red” - House Target List on Health Care
The National Republican Congressional Committee has published a target list on health care. In addition to continuing to contact the five Tennessee Democrat Congressmen, you can go http://www.votervoice.net/link/clickthrough/ext/94697.aspx to contact some of these targets. Much of the talk following Obama’s announcement has focused on how to defeat this second bill through reconciliation, but that is misleading because the first step to defeating Obamacare is not by concentrating on defeating the “fixer” bill but by defeating the Senate bill in the House when it goes to the floor for an up-or-down vote on Thursday, March 18th.
