Why wait another month for healt care insurance reform? Bring me one by the Ides of March!
Edited on Fri Feb-26-10 01:32 PM by ThomWV
Yesterday's exercise put the cards on the table. There is only one question, how to go forward. Two options exist. First; a person might believe that politicians from both Parties got some sense knocked into them and now they are willing to take the two existing bills - along with whatever other bits and pieces there is common agreement on - and put it into Conference. Let the Congress do what it is suppose to do and if the Republican's fillibuster the result of the Conference then you got to Option 2, which is direct the Senate bill back to the Finance Committee with instructions to come up with a 9-year-bill that gave us all the health care reform every zealot Democrat (including myself) ever dreamed of - and then pass it with 50 votes plus Joe Biden.

Every single bit of this could be accomplished before the Ides of March. Maybe that should become our marching call. "Health Care by the Ides of March?
