First paragraph of Associated Press Saturday story: “Keep going. You don’t have to fix it all now. Just please don’t let it stall. That’s the essence of the message that Senate Democratic leaders have for their Finance Committee senators, who plan to start voting Tuesday on a remake of the nation’s health care system.”
Translation: If this fails, Pelosi won’t have anything to work over in conference to get her public option, so if you only fix it for the union guys to keep getting their Viagra, well that’s ObamaCare, and she’ll dump the heavy stuff in from her side, when opponents are just too tired to keep fighting this.
Also as of Saturday, more than 500 amendments to the Baucus version of the bill had been filed in the Finance Committee. Bets on how many of those will get read?
