Only 44% of Americans feel like its a good idea but so what.
Senate Dems are set to vote today on their nationalized health care plan.
The AP cheerleaders reported:
President Barack Obama’s plan to remake the nation’s health care system is about to take its biggest step yet toward becoming reality.
The pivotal Senate Finance Committee was poised to approve sweeping legislation Tuesday requiring nearly all Americans to purchase insurance and ushering in a host of other changes to the nation’s $2.5 trillion medical system.
Much work would lie ahead before a bill could arrive on Obama’s desk, but action by the Finance Committee would mark a significant advance, capping numerous delays as Chairman Max Baucus, D-Mont., held marathon negotiating sessions — ultimately unsuccessful — aimed at producing a bipartisan bill.
Four other congressional committees acted before August to pass health legislation, so for months all eyes have been on the Finance Committee, the remaining one. It’s also the panel whose moderate makeup most closely resembles the Senate as a whole. And the committee’s centrist legislation is seen as the best building block for a compromise plan that could find favor on the Senate floor.
With Democrats holding a 13-10 majority on the committee the outcome of Tuesday’s vote is not in doubt.
Here’s information on how you can fax your senator’s office, via Instapundit.
Here is a list of those democrats who are on the Obamacare fence:
Urgent! Urgent! Urgent!
Congress is attempting to ram through a bill that will lead to government takeover of health care, massive new deficit spending and massive new taxes.
The Senate Finance Committee is scheduled to vote on the bill on Tuesday.
Contact these senators and insist that Americans get a chance to see the full text of the bill before any vote is taken on any so-called health care bill.
Americans insist:
Show us the bill!
