I respectfully disagree..The bill WILL pass this week, thru hook or crook…Lets remember something here…The democrats stated that many presidents and congressmen in the past wanted to pass a healthcare bill of some sort..There is a BIG difference between those who govern us now and those Democrats of the past..There is a line in the sand that those of the past would NEVER cross, that being putting our country in such a predicament the would jepordize its very survival..The ones we have know could care less…The line in the sand has been crossed..All that matters now is,how long will it be before it all comes crashing down and we cease to exsist as the United States of America??…

Democratic leaders already plan to employ the parliamentary maneuver known as reconciliation. Under reconciliation, Congress agrees on general objectives and uses reconciliation to plug in specific numbers later. It is intended to streamline legislative debates and amendments related to budget-related legislation.

Reconciliation became necessary following Sen. Scott Brown’s upset win in Massachusetts, which cost Senate Democrats the 60th vote they need to head off any filibuster of new legislation.

Unlike regular legislation, reconciliation requires a simple majority – 51 Senate votes – rather than the 60 votes needed to bring a bill to a vote on the Senate floor.

Pelosi faces an additional problem, however: Many members of her caucus believe that voting for the Senate’s unpopular healthcare bill could be politically fatal, even with the subsequent changes in the reconciliation process that Senate Democrats are promising to make.

Pelosi’s solution: another maneuver, called “deem and pass.”

In its resolution on the reconciliation changes it wants, the House simply would “deem” that it had passed the Senate legislation — without members of Congress actually ever voting on it.

This could cause a Constitutional Crises.
