Peter DeFazio (D-Ore.) has 10 House Democrats who have threatened to vote ‘NO’ over regional disparities in Medicare Reimbursement Rates.....Doh!!
They’re already decorating the ‘NO’ Christmas Tree with all sorts of good reasons [abortion, cadillac tax, procedure, no public option, no illegal buy-in for Obamacare]to kill the bill.
San Fran Nan will not even bring the Senate bill up for a vote tomorrow.
It’s dead Jim.
I don't think anyone has mentioned CBO yet. The final CBO scores are supposed to be out sometime today (the first scores were preliminary). It's possible that Nan got a heads up and the scoring on the Reconciliation Bill is going to be less favorable than originally projected.
The original Senate bill (H.R. 3590) might be their only option now. Is it dead? We will know by this time Monday afternoon. I wouldn't bet the family farm on it not passing.
