58. Since when is Van Hollen in the Senate?




He's trying to get the burden off the House. Minus 60 senators, one plan appears to be to have the House pass the Senate bill intact. They don't want to do that but they also don't want the blame for killing health reform. So he's saying the Senate should go the reconciliation route (as best they can.) They'd have to exclude many provisions. No control over insurance company practices, either. And everything would expire in 5 years.


IMO it's just a ploy on his part.
