Amendments to health reform repeal filed by Dems to force vote

http://thehill.com/blogs/healthwatch/health-reform-implementation/136225-democrats-file-amendments-to-healthcare-reform-repeal-
House Democrats on Wednesday filed four amendments to Republicans' healthcare reform repeal bill in a bid to force an up-or-down vote on popular patient protections in the bill.

The amendments seek to preserve:

� The elimination of lifetime limits on care;

� The requirement that insurance plans allow young people up to age 26 to remain on their parents' healthcare policies;

� The ban on discrimination against people with preexisting conditions; and

� The provision of free preventive care for seniors.

2. People have forgotten that lots of House Dems are steel-spined bad-asses.

They're not going to let the teabaggers do whatever they want, no matter what the MSM says.
