Healthcare Reform Action Alert

Greetings!

Breaking news… Ruling Kills an Option for Moving Health Bill
By David M. Drucker

March 11, 2010, 2:30 p.m.

The Senate Parliamentarian has ruled that President Barack Obama must sign Congress’ original health care reform bill before the Senate can act on a companion reconciliation package, senior GOP sources said Thursday.

The Senate Parliamentarian’s Office was responding to questions posed by the Republican leadership. The answers were provided verbally, sources said.
House Democratic leaders have been searching for a way to ensure that any move they make to approve the Senate-passed $871 billion health care reform bill is followed by Senate action on a reconciliation package of adjustments to the original bill. One idea is to have the House and Senate act on reconciliation prior to House action on the Senate’s original health care bill.

Information Republicans say they have received from the Senate Parliamentarian’s Office eliminates that option. House Democratic leaders last week began looking at crafting a legislative rule that would allow the House to approve the Senate health care bill, but not forward it to Obama for his signature until the Senate clears the reconciliation package.

Meanwhile, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) moved Thursday to put Senate Republicans on the defensive over health care, sending a letter to Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) in which he dared the GOP to vote against reform.
Reid also defended the Democrats’ use of reconciliation to get a final health care reform bill to the president’s desk, noting that the bulk of health care reform was approved under regular order via the package that cleared the Senate on Christmas Eve. Reid also emphasized that Republicans have used the procedure several times over the years.

However, Reid also promised in the letter that Republicans would have ample opportunity to amend the reconciliation package.

“Reconciliation is designed to deal with budget-related matters, and some have expressed doubt that it could be used for comprehensive health care reform that includes many policies with no budget implications. But the reconciliation bill now under consideration would not be the vehicle for comprehensive reform – that bill already passed outside of reconciliation with 60 votes,” Reid wrote to McConnell.
“Reconciliation will not exclude Republicans from the legislative process. You will continue to have an opportunity to offer amendments and change the shape of the legislation. In addition, at the end of the process, the bill can pass only if it wins a democratic, up-or-down majority vote. If Republicans want to vote against a bill that reduces health care costs, fills the prescription drug ‘donut hole’ for seniors and reduces the deficit, you will have every right to do so,” he said.

Healthcare Reform Action Alert

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Fiscal Responsibility: The US House and Senate is about to vote on a Health Care Reform Bill that is neither written nor read, it takes over 1/6th of the US Economy and denies US citizens the opportunity to be represented. It is time to remind politicians in Washington, DC, that they work for us and that their job is to represent us.

Accountability: Any US legislator that votes ‘yes’ on bill based in his/her party affiliation and not on the contents of the bill does not deserve their position. Remind legislators that they are in office, not in power. If a legislator can’t look you in the eye and say, “I read the bill, I understand the bill, and I made an informed vote on the bill” then they will soon be looking for work in the private sector.

Transparency: Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid are holding backroom meetings with legislators in an attempt to get a yes vote from each of them. Ask your legislator if they were threatened, if they were coerced, if they were offered anything, then ask what was said. If your legislator does not have the strength of character to disclose the contents of the back room dealings, they certainly do not have the strength of character to stay in office.

Let’s get back to basics, Fiscal Responsibility, Accountabiltiy, and Transparency. Both the Senate and the House need to hear from us, let’s start here:

These Senators are up for re-election in 2010, let them know they’re on the verge of joining civilian life with “yes” votes on things like Health Care Reform, Cap and Trade, and additional stimulus and bail outs!
