( *Trick) procedure that would allow the House to pass health care reform without one congressman voting on a bill the Senate passed in December.
Under a ( *Trick) maneuver known as a "self-executing rule," health care would be deemed to have passed once House members approve a package of fixes they want to make in the Senate bill. It is not a sure thing the senate will make any such changes.

Pelosi wants to avoid an up or down vote on the Senate bill. Pelosi admitted the Senate bill is unpopular with members of her own party, "There are a lot of people who don't want to vote for it," she said.
When asked, are you "whipping" your members to vote for the bill, Pelosi smiled and said : "I never stop whipping. There is no beginning, there's no middle and there's no end."

"Reconsiliation" is not a trick. Its resolving differences between similar bills passed in the Senate and the House.
ReplyDeleteRepublicans used "Reconsiliation" 22 times previously, as documented by Arlen Spector from Pennsylvania. Whats the problem with using it now ?
Healthcare Reform will likely pass. Nixon proposed something back in the 70's, don't you think its about time ?
No,reconsiliation it is not a trick but here the trick is this bill was never passed in the house! The house wants to DEEM it passed!
