Apparently, good ole’ Ron Wyden added an amendment to the bill (that few have heard of) that allows states to opt out of the health care legislation if they can create their own system that succeeds in meeting the requirements.

I am that infernally optimistic optimist.

Well, apparently there was a deal. We’ve been watching all day for the outcome of the rules vote and any agreements between Stupak’s coalition and Democratic leaders.

The president just finished speaking on the Hill in hopes of encouraging Democrats to vote for health care reform. Hoyer came out and said they have the votes. Stupak is holding strong but it’s questionable how many pro-life Dems are with him. The parliamentarian for the House said the House could vote on changes before [...]
Ramming through health care: WASHINGTON, DC – House Republican Leader John Boehner (R-OH) issued the following statement after House Democrats voted to authorize the use of the controversial “Slaughter Solution” to force a massive government takeover of health care through the House without voting on it: “Today, House Democrats voted to protect themselves instead of [...]
Congress will likely vote on Sunday on health care reform. Please call your representative and ask him or her to vote no.
The Republican Party of Virginia is planning to read the whole health care bill aloud–beginning at 8:00 a.m tomorrow. They estimate that it will take close to 40 hours (!) to read the bill.
Um, yeah…. h/t Sister Toldjah
