The outcome of any vote by Congress on health care is irrelevant since Article 1 Section 8 of the Constitution does not specifically grant Congress the power to regulate health care! Therefore the so called legislation on its face is Unconstitutional! The people are not bound to comply with an Unconstitutional act of Congress! This is a power regulated to the states per the 10th Amendment!
It is the reason why Idaho and Virginia have passed legislation blocking federal health care from being illegally imposed on the citizens of those states by reasserting their 10th Amendment rights and 34 other states considering similar legislation! This is the point people need to hammer home with their Congress critters!
I wish you would quit posting the constitutional thing and states rights. Do you really believe the courts are going to get involved? We are in for a long road. It will pass , it will hurt the economy and medicaid and social security and medicare and cost jobs plus increase taxes. The republicans will eventually get Congress back but President Obama will hold veto power until he gets his walking papers in the election. We are stuck with this until 2013.
The buying of votes and unequal application of rights (Medicare Advantage for Florida ONLY) should make this thing unconstitutional too.
Will they? I highly doubt it. First, because most are in gerrymandered safe Dem districts. Second, because few voters will have ever heard of this issue, much less understand it. Third, because the Dems' core constituency of statist true believers won't give a rat's butt anyway.
