Aint happening...it's dead in the water. Obama blew it.
WASHINGTON (AP) - The head of a group of fiscally conservative Democrats says negotiations with House leaders on health care have collapsed. Rep. Mike Ross, D-Ark., who heads the Blue Dogs' health care task force, told reporters Friday that after a week of talks, the effort to reach agreement between the leadership and the conservative to moderate Democrats fell apart.

House healthcare talks break down in anger

House healthcare negotiations dissolved in acrimony on Friday, with Blue Dog Democrats saying they were “lied” to by their Democratic leaders.
The seven Blue Dogs on the Energy and Commerce Committee stormed out of a Friday meeting with their committee chairman, Henry Waxman (D-Calif.), saying Waxman had been negotiating in bad faith over a number of provisions Blue Dogs demanded be changed in the stalled healthcare bill.
“I’ve been lied to,” Blue Dog Coalition Co-Chairman Charlie Melancon (D-La.) said on Friday. “We have not had legitimate negotiations.
“Mr. Waxman has decided to sever discussions with the Blue Dogs who are trying to make this bill work for America,” Melancon said.
Although those Blue Dogs were supposed to be headed back into another meeting of the Energy and Commerce Democrats, their anger was visible.
If the two sides cannot reach an agreement, the only hope for passage of the bill in the House will be to go straight to the floor, an option leaders shied away from endorsing but said was an option.
But the Blue Dogs issued dire warnings to leaders contemplating that approach.
"Waxman simply does not have votes in committee and process should not be bypassed to bring the bill straight to floor,” Rep. Mike Ross (D-Ark.), the lead Blue Dog negotiator, said on Friday. “We are trying to save this bill and trying to save this party.”
Melancon said there would be 40-45 “solid no” votes from the 52-strong Blue Dogs, among other problems throughout the caucus. And Melancon said there are more Democrats who will vote against the bill.
“If they try to bring it to the floor, I think they’ll find out they have more problems than the Blue Dogs.”
A leadership aide said no decisions have been made on how to proceed.

There are too many damn people in this world to begin with to give everyone the resources they need. Stop pooping out kids and that will cut down on the cost of everything.
Obama is out of control with his spending. I am considering to completely stop working, collect unemployment, and get this government healthcare. Since I am off, I will probably show up to the doctor everyday to give me something to do and since it is free. Let all the other people who make money and work those dumb 9-5 jobs pay for me to live a decent life. Then once I do not get the same medical treatment as Ted Kennedy, I will sue the hospital, nurse, doctor, and government for not helping me more and giving me all the tests and medicine I needed.
Let the lawyers have a free for all.

"health care should be a birth right"
well, not for some babies that are actually living outside the mother's womb because they survived a botched late term abortion.
Obama thinks giving those children medical care would defeat the intention of the mother (what a pathetic use of that word) and the abortionist.

Every Democratic candidate who ran in the primaries was for the hideous notion of healthcare for all and you were for Obama from the get go. Don't tell me that was the only reason you supported BO. The most looney utopian thinking radical dems in the country, along with the timing of certain state primaries fueled BO's ascendency. I'd bet this one:
Is GT for Cape & Trade:
Yes -800
No +600
I never bet the favorites but I'd bet my house "YES" on that prop
WTF?
What you describe is part of the master plan by the inbred, homosexual, psychotic control freaks wou are in control, and I ain't talking about lefty vs righty. Please use you brain and do not buy into their brain washings. Who gets to decide who lives or who dies? It ain't gonna be you and I promise you these people hate you as much as everybody else.
