1. It's just words and to proven otherwise. The bill will look like Lieberman's bill. |

6. I am glad we are finally hearing some tough talk from progressives in the House. |
|
Hope they don't end up caving like their equivalents in the Senate.

8. knr and as noted in the link ... |

"...The House bill had only two Democratic votes to spare in order to pass, though it’s rumored that Pelosi had others in her pocket she could have delivered if need be. But it sounds like many are not happy having the House of Lords declare them irrelevant. Both DeFazio and Robert Wexler were “yeas” in the 220-215 vote that got the health care bill through the House. Wexler has resigned and won’t be replaced until April.
DeFazio has said he will vote against any bill that does not have a public option, and signed the July 30 letter to Nancy Pelosi saying he “simply cannot vote” for a bill that “at minimum” does not have a public plan. But he also signed a letter saying he’d vote against the IMF funding in the war supplemental and flipped on that when his vote was needed, so how far he’ll go on this one remains to be seen.
You can find DeFazio’s contact information and his voting history on health care on his FDL Profile Page."
