Healthcare Express

I keep hearing from Obama that he intends to extend healthcare coverage to the supposed 46 million (I can’t truthfully say Americans) in the US who do not have it, AND at the same time, reduce healthcare costs. What I have not heard, not even once, is how he plans to do it. Today, in his 'virtual’ town hall meeting, he said he is open to ‘all serious ideas’.

Obama and the dem leadership obviously have no clue on what to do and plan on encountering stiff resistance from even democrats. To combat this anticipated resistence, Pelosi and Reid intend on employing a little used ‘reconciliation’ procedure that allows Congress to ‘fast track’ legislature that only requires 51 votes, as opposed to the normal 60 majority vote.

Prepare to get railroaded.
