Democrats May Stall Health Care Vote!

Harry Reid, who demanded a timeline for withdrawal from Iraq, insists he will not be held to a timeline to vote on health care!

This is too funny!

Top Dems: No Health Care Bill in 2009

11/4/09

Senior Congressional Democrats told ABC News today it is highly unlikely that a health care reform bill will be completed this year, just a week after President Barack Obama declared he was “absolutely confident” he’ll be able to sign one by then.
“Getting this done by the by the end of the year is a no-go,” a senior Democratic leadership aide told ABC News. Two other key Congressional Democrats also told ABC News the same thing.

This may come as an unwelcome surprise for the White House, where officials from the president on down have repeatedly said the health care bill would be signed into law by the end of the year.

“I am absolutely confident that we are going to get health care done by the end of this year, and Nancy Pelosi is just as confident,” Obama said Oct. 27 at a fundraiser for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi may still be confident — and her spokesman Brendan Daly said today, “We are going to get our part done” — but the reason for the delay can be found in the Senate.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has yet to release the bill he eventually plans to bring to the Senate floor. Reid is still waiting for the Congressional Budget Office to come up with an estimated cost of several possible variations of his bill before deciding which one to introduce in the Senate.

Here’s what “This war is lost” Harry Reid had to say:

“First of all, we are not going to be bound by any timelines,” Reid told reporters Tuesday.

Someone tell Obama: His war on American freedom is LOST!

One question — How do any of these health care bills actually improve health care or reduce costs for the average person wh now has some.

I seem to not be able to find the answer.

@bill-tb: They don’t. Anyone who currently has insurance will pay more for it under the Dem’s plans. And they will be subjected to a lower level of care.

They need to find a more convenient time to sneak it in. Thanksgiving? Christmas?

Oh those pesky Tea Party People! Reid may try to find a time when he thinks people are to busy to notice.

Why don’t any of these Congress men or women stop and think about this from the point of view of a citizen that needs healthcare and ask themselves if it were them would they want to go through this kind of hoop jumping. Americans, as a whole can not afford this plan and I certainly don’t want to be paying even more for undocumented immigrants as well.
