Thread: Passing a Shell of A Bill: Congress’ Secret Plan to Ram Th

With the President and Congress’s plan to pass comprehensive health care reform reaching increasingly high levels of unpopularity, and reconciliation becoming an impediment, the leadership of the Senate is rumored to be preparing a new secret plan to railroad the bill through the Senate in record time by using a seldom used parliamentary procedure.

Their plan is to proceed to a House passed non-health care bill to provide a shell of legislation to give Obamacare a ride to the House then to the President’s desk. Sound confusing? We lay out the steps below, but essentially the Senate would pass health care reform as an amendment to a completely unrelated bill so the Senate and House could act quickly and without further debate. Even worse? Nobody really knows what that legislation looks like but they plan on voting for it anyway.

Right now, the Senate Finance Committee is in the midst of marking up health care reform “legislation.â€

If this bill was so wonderful, why would they have to pull another "Stimulus scam" passage on us?

Signing this bill into law is like signing a check over to someone and not filling in the amount.

I have set from the outset they will pass something in order to then sneak in all the little provisions they want at a later date; hidden in some other bill like a bridge to alaska bill that no one will read.
