Dems will Fight for Health Care: Rahm Emanuel Stripping Down the Bill
by Maggie @ Maggie’s Notebook
Yesterday, Senator Max Baucus said there is “no way health care is dead…we will find a way to pass it.” Below the fold in a Politico article dated today, it was reported that Rahm Emanuel was hunkered-down, working on a stripped-down version of health care, in the hopes of forcing Republicans to vote. Friends, this is the Chicago-machine we’re dealing with. It’s not over till it’s over. Update 1-22-10: Rush Limbaugh is reporting right now, that the reconciliation option, needing only 51 votes to pass health care, is on the table. Dems will be spending the next 4 or 5 days trying to figure out a way to get the legislation through.
From Politico 1-21-10:
Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus (D-Mont.) said, “No way is it dead, because it’s so important for the country. And we will find a way to pass [it].”
From Politico 1-22-10:
Emanuel, for his part, is now pushing for a stripped-down health care bill that could be passed within a few weeks and force Republicans, for a change, to take a few tough votes.
Can Rahm Emanuel resurrect a stripped-down version of ObamaKare, and foist it on us – the incredibly naive public who thinks the legislation is dead, done and over?
