Rep. Paul Ryan says that Democrats are ready to ram a “shell”
health care bill through the Budget Committee, on which he serves
as ranking Republican member, to use as a vehicle to impose
national health care.
In a phone interview with TAS Thursday afternoon, Ryan
said that he expects Democrats to begin the complex process on
Monday, under which they would have the Budget Committee approve
a phantom bill by midnight, which they will then send over to the
Rules Committee. At that point, the Rules Committee will strip
out all of the language in the phantom bill, and insert the
changes to the Senate bill that Democrats have negotiated.
“They don’t have the votes right now, but they’re creating the
vehicle so that they can airdrop in whatever changes they want,”
Ryan said.
He said that Republicans are outnumbered 2-to-1 on his committee
and don’t have the votes to stop the bill there. Democrats will
also be able to prevent Republicans from offering any amendments,
but GOP members will be able to offer “motions to instruct” the
Rules Committee, that Ryan said will be used highlight problems
with the “unprecedented” step that Democrats are taking.
He said he expected Democrats to dust off last year’s health care
bills from the Education and Labor and Ways and Means Committees,
to use as the vehicle for reconciliation changes.
Ryan said that the Senate parliamentarian’s
ruling that President Obama must sign a health care bill into
law before the Senate can change it through reconciliation
largely renders moot the attempt by Rep. Louise Slaughter to
shield members from a direct vote on the Senate health care bill.
He said the idea would also violate Obama’s call for an
up-or-down vote. “That’s not an up-or-down vote, that’s sweeping
it under the rug and into law,” Ryan said.
He also warned against focusing too much on the reconciliation
process in the Senate. “Reconciliation is a distraction,” he
said. “Once the House passes the Senate bill we have the massive
new entitlement.”

Why doesn't Obama just call a press conference where he declares that his HCR bill is law because he 'said so'?
Unbelievable.
JP| 3.11.10 @ 5:02PM
I'm a little confused. The House must vote up or down on the Senate Version first. Then the President must sign that into law. The House can dust up all versions of ObamaCare they want; but, nothing can proceed until they vote on the Senate Version, followed by the President's signature.
Even then, the Senate could easily just say that they are no longer interested in reconcilliation. I don't think the President would mind one bit if after his signing ceremony the entire affair just falls away. Once the House passed the Senate Version, and once the President signs it into law, it's over.
So, I don't know what Pelosi is doing. Her caucus has to know how this thing will end. If she delivers and passes the Senate Version, her House Dems are history. There is nothing, repeat nothing that would compel Reid or any Senator to keep this farce going after it becomes law. Again, the House MUST APPROVE THE SENATE VERSION AS IT STANDS NOW. Otherwise, the game is over.
Warrior | 3.11.10 @ 5:15PM
Don't be too surprised if one of the changes is public option/single payer. Everyone is focused on abortion and the Byrd rules. All the while, this has provided cover for our President to write the changes in a very closed room with a very tight circle of comrades. Remember, they believe the majority of Americans want a public option and what better way to deliver it to them.
Jeff Perren | 3.11.10 @ 5:18PM
I've been arguing for months now that the Democrats are prepared to do anything - anything they can get away with - to pass this monstrosity, regardless of what happens in November. Hardly an original thought on my part, I openly admit.
This I think is: I've also been saying that the only way to stop it is a multi-million person march on Washington D.C. that lasts for several weeks. That's the only thing the media can't ignore. Otherwise, the overwhelming majority of voters who pay little attention to the day-to-day details, will never know what happened until it's too late.
Join the Tea Party Express to make that a reality.

I agree with JP with a slight difference - Im very confused. You send it to committee but a committee can't make it the law of the land - right? It still has to go to a vote? And what is a Motion to Instruct - in trying to find out more info - I could only see that it is basically an objection raised by the minority party that is meaningless.
I'm just waiting on Obama to declare himself King and single handedly enact the damn thing.

This method is how Congress passed TARP.
If you recall, the first TARP bill was defeated in the House by Conservative GOP Representatives.
The next thing that happened was that suddenly the Senate had a TARP bill of their own. What the bill was was a medical related bill from Spring 08 that had already passed the House.
The Senate Dems switched out all the language and then passed that, sent it to the House, and they passed that with no possibility for amendments.
And everyone thinks that TARP is a Republican Product. The GOP is so dumb it allows that perception to linger out there.

Let me as a non government academic or student of same

Court actions --not necessarily only Repubs, but Companies,private citiuzens and other avenues.
State actions: I have heard various states may refuse to accept this plan

If the Democrats use the "Slaughter rule" or in some other manner simply ignore the U.S. Constitution, the rule of law will have ended and the United States of America will have effectively been disbanded. If the federal government ignores the Constitution, then there technically no longer is a federal government.
We will then have 50 sovereign states... and each of them should immediately declare that they are republics.
Frankly, I hope it happens. I'll take the Republics of Texas, Utah, Wyoming, or Alaska over Washington, Dc.C. any day.

As predicted , the first stages of the Health Care Bill was passed. Why, you ask ? It is because people wish to be seen for their in put of a view and not unite. What is lost is respect with in a concept of { Freedom Of Choice } to be a part of this system or not, with in this Health Care Force Pay Matrix.
What is offered by FASC Concepts is the Freedom Of Choice, because we feel it is unconstitutional to force pay into the failures of Health Care Insurance Companies and then Tax that money. As you can see our elected officials are paying little attention to the public. As I reach out to my computer and I knock , knock, knock on the screen, and I say is there any body out there?
This Health Care issue keeps taking turns and twist that bewilder the mind in thoughts. This $100 trillion dollar system ,as it would seem, I am counting up to $ 8 trillion 682 billion Dollars so far. On guy emailed me and he is up to $27 Trillion dollars.
You see when Harry Reid added a extra ....almost, $2 Trillion dollars in a tax forum, this through my numbers off with the 1 to 3 year spread of taxes.
Lets show you this way seeing how I run out of fingers to count on and I do not feel like taking my shoes off.....
to get a $4 Trillion dollar tax spread, it is based at a 0.25% up to 4 years.
To be able to see the amount taxed in one year as a whole at 50% is around $8.2 Trillion to $8.8 Trillion, please remember according to Government Officials this is to be a spread tax, 3 to 10 years.. There is over 10 thousand companies I have not even got to yet. So lets take this $ 8 trillion 682 billion Dollars , reach into your mind and say ,1 to 3 to 10 years Tax against the Health Care System, then take this 10% tax against the almost $4 Trillion Dollars, your factor must be a multiplication. Then you will see this Tax factor as net value of that system. But of course Government Officials will not show the a net value of a system or that one company, this wold make it to easy for the People to follow the Tax Dollar.
Remember this tax dollar does not include the split petition of the tax forum of increases in other areas, in the name of Health Care Reform. This tax forum I, or we can have very little effect against.
As for theses hidden taxes, they are not hidden. They are built into a split petition. They are meant not to be seen, only revealed as the Progressive Capital Tax Forum works the system in order to not over burden the money system. What is lost is trust because Government Officials by considering the public slow witted and as for this Bill, I want to read the Law that is to represent the Bill. This is because one word has a directive and a code and a sentence can lead to a different truth in concept.
So now it begins, the Civil Rights Law Suits and Constitutional Suits. We are not talking just a few law suits we are talking thousands will be filed because of the Freedom Of Choice is taken away and a Tax against money that is not Government Officials Rights to Tax, the Health Care Money for Coverage.
Within our web site we suggested to build a Government Web Site that will show the People the monthly income of this Health Care Dollar and what the dollar is used for. But of Course this can not be allowed this would audit the IRS and Government System.
So, what do you wish to do ? Sit back and complain or unite your voice as one and state that ,{ We believe in the Freedom Of Choice to be a Part Of this Health Care System or not. } We intend to give life to hope to where there is none.

The Democrat leadership is desperate. Really, really desperate. They STILL don't have enough votes, even from their own party, to pass their version of HCR and now they are cajoling their own members to commit political suicide to pass a bill that doesn't exist.
How does Congress tell their constituents that they not only don't see the need to read the bills that they pass but now the bills don't even have to contain legislation for them to pass it.
Keep calling your elected representatives and tell them what you think of them and their methods. (Be polite). Remind them that you can always find someone else who is willing to actually support the people of your State.
