Nancy Pelosi rushed the vote on her plan to nationalize the health care industry despite Republican requests to wait until the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) could issue the agency’s analysis of the legislation. Now we may know why.
Costs will soar, Medicare services will be slashed, and [...]
The only Republican to vote for Nancy Pelosi’s disastrous health care bill was Joseph Cao, from inner-city New Orleans.
I have two things to say to Mr. Cao:

Huge kudos to Nancy Pelosi and team for pulling off the health care vote last night. As recently as yesterday morning, it looked like they didn't have the votes. But they did, and then some. If he were still alive, Thomas D'Alesandro, Jr. would be the proudest man on the [...]
Great quote from Nancy Pelosi on the House passing health care “reform:”
A triumphant Speaker Nancy Pelosi likened the legislation to the passage of Social Security in 1935 and Medicare 30 years later.
That quote pretty much sums it up. Nothing more needs to be said.
[...]UPDATE 7:00 pm - Nancy Pelosi says she has the votes to clear 218. Vote tentatively scheduled for 11 pm

Well, the bill isn’t finished, with [...]
Back in August, Nancy Pelosi said that she would be HR 676 to the floor. I called her office and they assured me her comments on Single Payer to the floor had referred to 676. The rumour is something about Single Payer is coming to the floor. [...] Is Nancy Pelosi’s 2,000-page version of Obama Care “the worst bill ever” — as the editors of the Wall Street Journal describe it? I doubt it. After all, that’s some pretty stiff competition. But if you’re busy having to defend the so-called health care reform legislation from the [...]

Just like the Baucus bill, the health care “reform” bill which is being pushed by Nancy Pelosi (and which she might or might not have the votes to get through the House) is nothing more than financial smoke and mirrors, a massive tax and spend program which will cost far [...]
(H/T Complete Colorado) The Grand Junction Sentinel reported yesterday that Colorado 3rd District Democratic Congressman John Salazar has opted to back Nancy Pelosi and the Party leadership’s attempt to push a government health care takeover.
Might this development be enough to prompt a repeat challenge from a strong conservative [...]
