While I had a little fun in another blog with stuff that is in the Health Care Reconciliation bill, there are some big time changes made in provisions of the Senate passed health care bill that deserve attention. But you have to be a lawyer to figure some of them out.
... continue reading Reconciliation Bill Details. The additions from Democrats on health care reform don't seem like much. It's only 153 pages of legislative mumbo-jumbo, but there are some gems stuffed in there.
... continue reading The Reconciliation Act. As lawmakers were still digesting the final health care changes unveiled by Democrats along with a Congressional Budget Office review, Republicans were trying to put the heat on Democrats over how a Senate health care bill will be dealt with.

Still short on votes for health care reform, it became obvious on Tuesday in the halls of the Capitol that the only hope for Democrats to get health legislation through the House is to use a parliamentary maneuver which would not allow for a direct vote on a Senate passed health bill.
