    Rhetorical question:
    What is the difference between those who are willing to vote in favor of the current health care reform package and risk  self destructing their careers and a jihadi that’s willing to strap on a bomb and blow himself and everything around him.

    Sadie #1,
    I know it was rhetorical, but the answer is:
    Those who are willing to vote in favor of the current health care reform aren’t disappointed when there aren’t 72 virgins waiting there to greet them.

    I initially was gong to phrase it as question and see how many clever answers would surface, like a game of political Jeopardy.
     
    It during these times, I wonder if the system is representative of the people.  Wouldn’t we be better off if there was a special referendum whereby each of us could actually go to a ballot box and cast our vote.  While we are focused on health care reform, ‘they’ also attached college loans to this bill. To be honest, I have not read anything as to how this additional government agency would work along with the additional IRS employees to enforce health reform.
     
    It looks like the feds are inept OB/GYNS. The woman is in the doctor’s office, looking to confirm whether or not she is pregnant. The doctor confirms that yes, she is indeed pregnant with a child. She returns for a follow up visit and is told that she is having twins. Subsequent visits reveal that not only is it to be a multiple birth, but they can’t be sure of how many – maybe three, maybe six or more. Expectant mother goes home unable to calculate the cost, the long term effect on her family on every conceivable level. All she keeps hearing from the doctor is this won’t cost you anymore than if you had given birth to one child.

    I’m puzzled by something, don’t know the answer.
     
    The Democrats are going to vote first on the Reconciliation bill, which amends “The Senate Bill”.  Then they are going to vote on “The Senate Bill”.  I always thought a bill had to be law before you could amend it – meaning, it required the Presidential signature.  How they can vote on the amendment/reconciliation bill before “The Senate Bill” even becomes law is beyond me… but apparently, they can?
     
    But my real question is this:  Suppose the amendment/reconciliation bill passes, and then the Senate Bill vote fails.  Since the passed bill amends the failed bill, what happens to the passed bill when the bill that it amends failed?
     
    What a mess.

    I just realized my main question above was a brain-freeze; the “Senate bill” passed by the House is unmodified, so it already has passed the Senate.  Doh.  Sometimes I’m an honorary Democrat.
