Pelosi Aide Calls Democratic Plan to Pass Health Care Bill "A Trick"
Pelosi Aide Calls Democratic Plan to Pass Health Care Bill "A Trick"

Feb 11 2010, 5:15 PM ET
While everyone else is wondering how Obama could possibly have thought it a good idea to praise bankers, I'll be pondering this gem from Nancy Pelosi's top health care aide:

"In comments reported by Congress Daily, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's top health care aide Wendell Primus admitted top Democrats have already decided on the strategy to pass the Senate's pro-abortion, government-run health care bill.

"Primus explained that the Senate will use the controversial reconciliation strategy that will have the House approve the Senate bill and both the House and Senate okaying changes to the bill that the Senate will sign off on by preventing Republicans from filibustering.

"'The trick in all of this is that the president would have to sign the Senate bill first, then the reconciliation bill second, and the reconciliation bill would trump the Senate bill,' Primus said at the National Health Policy Conference hosted by Academy Health and Health Affairs.

"'There's a certain skill, there's a trick, but I think we'll get it done,' he said."

2. Trouble is, The Trick's On Us
Especially the poor, women, children, the disabled, ill, unemployed...anybody who needs healthcare and won't get it, thanks to this abortion of an anti-abortion, pro-Insurance Company bill.

3. Pro Abortion
I support that. I think everybody that's capable of reproducing should go out and get a few recreational abortions!
