This is mind-boggling. Blue Lyon quotes an email from HealthJustice, which was sent out in response to the withdrawal of the Kucinich amendment before yesterday's vote: S peaker Pelosi felt that offering a single-payer amendment would open the floodgates to amendments proposed to limit abortion funds, restrict immigrant access to healthcare, and other regressive legislation. And in the end...? To get...

Late last night the U.S. House narrowly approved its version of the health care reform bill by a vote of 220-215. Only one Republican, first termer Rep. Joseph Cao (LA), voted yes and 39 Democrats voted no. Roll call here . A triumphant Speaker Nancy Pelosi likened the legislation to the passage of Social Security in 1935 and Medicare 30 years later. "Oh, what a night!" she proclaimed at...

Huge kudos to Nancy Pelosi and team for pulling off the health care vote last night. As recently as yesterday morning, it looked like they didn't have the votes. But they did, and then some. If he were still alive, Thomas D'Alesandro, Jr. would be the proudest man on the face of the earth today. This didn't happen in a vacuum. Congress is a political animal, and the support of their constituencies...

From Saturday Night Live's "Weekend Update": SETH MEYERS: And in breaking news, the House passed the health care reform bill at 11:07 this evening by a vote of 220 to 215. Nancy Pelosi was said to be so emotional she was on the verge of blinking.

There were over one hundred amendments to the bill the House just passed. They were not posted online 72 hours in advance of this vote today. Here’s Nancy Pelosi when she was part of the majority. She was absolutely outraged that they were voting for bills nobody read. What a wretched human being.

How about that New Mexico soccer player, causing all kinds of havoc on the pitch? Kind of like the Democrats pushing through the health reform bill.

Dear Nancy Pelosi : Congratulations on the successful and historic passage of the health care bill. The fact that you sold out every other woman in America to get it done is, of course, completely irrelevant. What a bright, shining moment for the Democratic Party. Yours in endless contempt, LuLu

Nancy Pelosi called for a vote on one of the worst pieces of legislation in history at 11:00 PM on a Saturday night. Are you wondering why? Why not wait until Monday or Tuesday and give the American people time to find out what’s in the bill? Why not vote when people are paying attention? The [...]

Late last night the House of Representatives passed the healthcare reform bill by a 220-215 vote with 39 Democrats voting against it and one Republican voting in favor. The bill basically remained intact, the healthcare mandates (with possible jail time for those who don’t buy coverage) and public option are still in there so I guess at this point we can only look toward small victories. Small

It sounds like we have the votes to pass, H.R. 3962 on health care reform. The road will still be long and difficult. Passage in the Senate is not guaranteed. I have to say, having listened to about 2.5 hours of debate, that Republicans are--for the most part--sour grape dickheads. For about half of the 2.5 hours they have done nothing but fear-monger, lie, misrepresent, and acted like their plan is...

http://realhealthreform.wordpress.com/2009/10/30/house-unveils-1990-page-health-reform-bill/ Well, it seems we are down to a “tale of two bills”. The Senate version and the House version. Both are now packaged and ready to go to conference committee. It appears that Democrats have gotten their way on most all matters of contention, most specifically the inclusion of a public option in both bills. The...
