Conservative Republican revolt on the Medicare Bill?
It looks the Republican leadership is going to have an even harder time getting this through Congress. I am watching CSpan right now and Rep. Mike Pence said he will not support the bill because it is a government entitlement. OOO...this is going to be great.

When are they going to pass this? Delay could call a vote on the night of a Democratic debate, thus allowing Kucinich and Gephardt to not vote. I am sure that this will be a razor-thin vote. Will it pass this time?

Here are the votes on the House measure.

1. It will pass
Some Republicans will vote against it and some Democrats will vote for it.

2. I Believe Repubs Will Support In The End As It Will Destroy Medicare
Just what they've wanted all along...

Dems have been shown to be cowards and many will cave and we'll all be cooked gooses.

As we age, we will be screwed and screwed again by insurance companies and left to die, if we aren't "good enough" to be rich.
