Waxman: Deal Reached Between Liberals, Moderate Dems to Advance Health Bill

Friday, July 31, 2009

Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Henry Waxman of California said Friday he reached a deal with liberals and conservative Democrats on his panel for a sweeping legislation that seeks to hold down costs and provide health care to nearly all the 50 million uninsured.

WASHINGTON - Democratic leaders say they have worked out a last-minute dispute, clearing the way for a sweeping health care bill to move ahead in the House.

Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Henry Waxman of California said Friday he reached a deal with liberals and conservative Democrats on his panel. Earlier this week, Democratic leaders had settled differences with the fiscally conservative Blue Dog Democrats, but then liberals complained that too many concessions were made. They threatened to oppose the bill.

Waxman said the agreement restores some of the subsidies to help low- and middle-income Americans get health insurance.

He said he was confident he has the votes for his committee -- the last of three -- to pass the bill Friday before lawmakers leave Washington for a monthlong recess.

NO!!!

If they pass this bill, Democracy will have ended in America.

We must keep calling,faxing and speaking out on this. There are many rallies planned over the recess to make our voices heard.

HELL NO! THEY CANT BE SERIOUS. NO ONE HAS EVEN READ THE DAMN THING.

"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world; indeed it is the only thing that ever has." Margaret Mead

Remember......this could just be more of the same crap we always see and hear from these horn blowers.

It seems the more problems they run into with their lousy legislation, the more they come out with things intended to make everybody think it's a done deal.

Let's not come unglued..... let's just keep calling, faxing, telling these people "NO!!!!!"

It ain't over until we say it is
