re: #681 CapeCoddah

This will not end tomorrow, the Republicans have enough votes to send it back for a re-vote on a couple of points of order.
Constitutionally, there will be a big problem if it is assed in this fashion, because the language being voted on is not identical in both chambers. That is a big No-No, like it or not. Even if it passes, the only dems who will be left in either chamber come January will be those who are not up for re-election, and this mess, if it passes will be scuttled then. The main campaign point, should this pass will be promises to repeal it and we will see what blowout really means. The donks are signing their own death warrant with this, and they think it will keep them in office.
They are in for a shocka.

I think the repubs are going to have a hard time running against regulation of the insurance industry, which will mean that even if they do repeal it, some of the items will either stick around or be fun little points for the next election.

Senator Lardbottom made it possible for your insurance company to drop your coverage just because you got sick.

Senator Lardbottom sided with the insurance companies to deny care to sick children.
