Well folks, the end is near. Either we are about to see the culmination of the past year come forward with the passage of health reform or we are about to witness a huge political failure. As of this writing, sources say the House is still shy 3 votes of having the 216 votes needed. Regardless, the President has postponed his oversees trip and is hoping to have something signed before Easter recess on March 26th. The House is expected to vote on Sunday on the health reform bill, which now consits of the Senate bill that was passed on Christmas Eve along with a reconciliation bill that the House drafted to address some of the issues in the Senate bill.
Should be an interesting weekend folks, especially since we are expecting a big snowstorm to welcome in the offical beginning of Spring on the 20th!
One more thing......the House Committee on Energy & Commerce has detailed information on how the health reform bill will impact each of the 435 congressional districts in the country.
This is a great resource.
