Health Care Bill Back to the House

2 am, the Senate was still working... voting on 29 amendments. Voting down all 29, rejecting an amendment that would deny purchases of Viagra and other such drugs by sex offenders. The amendments, to roll back Medicare cuts, kill extra Medicaid dollars for Tennessee, bar tax increases for families making under $250,000 and an amendment requiring the President and administration to purchase insurance from the exchange, to be created by the new law, were also rejected.

The Senate found 2 provisions in the Bill that violate the budget rules. The Senate is expected to formally remove the two provisions from the bill, approve the bill and send to the house.

Senate Democratic expect the House to approve the measure. We shall see,
stay tuned!
