Well to be honest with you I have NO IDEA where the hell the ObamaCare bill stands now.
But the fact that it MAY be in trouble is a good sign; maybe it’ll make the Dems realize that by giving Republicans SOME input to proposed legistlation before they write it and a review of the draft, then they might get some Republicans on board (along with the Blue Dog Dems) if for no other reason than to cover their asses.
Trust me on this, PLEASE: Raising the cost of Medicare to Seniors and the disabled who are living on fixed incomes - which will NOT be going up - is in fact going to hurt, SERIOUSLY HURT an awful lot of Americans.
A great number of whom voted for Obama in ‘08 and most assuredly won’t be voting for Obama in 2012 - or Dem congressional candidates in 2010
and assuredly in 2012.

Assuming the only candidates the GOP runs aren’t all tarred as loony creationist nirthers.
