Oh, we’re thinking about Natoma all right…
If we need health insurance RIGHT NOW, then Obama should demand Pelosi schedule a vote on the House floor within the hour. That he doesn’t shows that they don’t have enough Democrats necessary to pass the bill.
Oh, and even if Pelosi was able to buy off enough votes and Rahm assault enough House members to pass the bill, and Obama signed it by the time I finished typing this sentence, the reforms STILL wouldn’t kick in until 2013. Or later.
Heck of a job, Barack.
the reforms STILL wouldn’t kick in until 2013.
Just plain wrong.
I don’t understand the sudden interest in whether the House leadership has the votes right now! Why is that such an interesting question? They’re gonna vote. We’ll see how it turns out. If they don’t have the votes today and they do have the votes at the end of the week, does that somehow change something?
I look forward to the reports from the thugs Malkin and Rush and Beck have sent out investigate countertops and to root through the trash cans in front of Natoma’s and Marcelas Owens’s homes for any evidence of any expenditure for minor comforts, no matter how trivial, that show they are perfectly fine, don’t really need any help and are nothing but welfare queen grifters.
Marcelas’ grandma bought a sweater last month! My god, they could have used that money for a doctor copay, but they’d rather suck on the public teat! Lazy good-fer-nuthin so-and-sos…
Is anyone else having problems watching video here? It just sputters so badly.

Take the evening off, nutters!
Seriously, what kind of dumbass talking point is this? Once the thing passes it’s not like the “they should vote on it right now” thing is going to give them any kind of moral superiority.
I can see a future post from Farris, “Sure the thing passed but I clearly stated that I they should have voted on it exactly when I said they should have.”
I can only guess, MOH, that they’re trying to argue that the delay allows time for backroom dealing.
Of course, that never happened in Washington before the Kenyan-born, socialist tyrant and his union/ACORN cronies seized power, right?
“Pass The Damn Bill”
Eat the shit sandwich! Eat it! Eat it!
Good news, Willie! Under the healthcare reform bill, you’ll be able to get treatment for your Tourette’s Syndrome!
Not to mention the e-coli infection that comes from eating shit.
Or don’t pass the Damn Bill and keep on eating the entire Left Side of the Menu at the Feces Diner (yes, that includes the Maryland Fried Guano).
Don’t leave out the Ambien for when he finds out Kucinich has flipped to ‘aye.’
You might be able to pass the Bill without Republicans, but without Doctors … ?
But … But … But … every poll out there says doctors LOVE the public option!!!
Methinks we’re heading for another public appearance with actors in white lab coats.
“3.6% of physicians prefer the “status quo” and feel that the U.S. health care system is best “as is.” “
Which, of course, noone is currently arguing for except in Obama’s strawmen fantasies. 62.7% prefer the bipartisan-approved approach, which is to toss the current bill and start over.
Well maybe once we get this passed your republican pals will come back with a more cooperative attitude and help us improve it.
Sorry, but “all we’ve got to do is a little tort reform” or “we’ve got to think about this for another twenty years or so” isn’t going to fly this time.
Frank’s link claims that roughly half of all doctors will retire early or quit working immediately…if a public option is included in healthcare reform.
This, of course, has no relevance whatever to the bill currently before Congress.
In other matters, Frank, you might like to view “poll” results that don’t reveal methodology with a bit of skepticism. Sometimes there are shennanigans afoot.
And Choosy Mothers choose Jif! I see you’re still cool with playing Teh Feud. We’ll keep playing Teh Jeopardy. Toodles!
