:rofl: i know... :rofl::rofl: I know. :rofl::rofl::rofl: I KNOW!!! :rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl: Stop It!!! :spank:

Anywho...

Since George Miller is saying that they are going to have to go ahead and pass the Senate Version of HCR, and then HOPE the Senate will comeback and possibly use Reconciliation to make fixes...

<snip>

Rep. George Miller (D-CA) is now saying the path forward will be for the House to pass the current Senate bill–unchanged–with the promise of a reconciliation fix later. Which, you know, the Senate Democrats promise they will get around to. Lucy, meet football. From The Hill:

Miller conceded that the House may have to pass the healthcare bill first approved by the Senate in December before the Congress can take up a bill using the reconciliation process in order to make fixes to the Senate bill. Using that process, the Senate could approve those changes with only a simple majority vote, instead of the 60 votes usually needed to end a filibuster.

“That may require us to pass the Senate bill first and then send the reconciliation bill to the Senate for them to pass,” Miller said. “I think Sen. Reid believes he can put the votes together for that.”

... why don't the House and the President pressure, er... suggest to the Senate that they, as a token of good faith, pass the House's revoking of the Insurance Industry's Anti-Trust Exemption???

After they do THAT, AND the President signs it into law, THEN the House will pass the Senate HC bill, and THEN they bring it back to fixing it through reconciliation.

Whadda ya think???

Nationalize a bank that deserves it! Break up a fucking monopoly! Take this goddamned exemption away!!!

The corporations need their damned comeuppance, and they need it right NOW!!!

3. Put both the Senate Bill and the Reconcilliation Bill on Obama's desk at the same time

He signs one, and with the same pen signs the other. Problem solved.
