Healthcare Debate

The Senate Democrats must think we are dumb. The so called blue dog Democrats or those Democrats in states that may be a problem in getting re-elected next year claim they have problems with the Senate Healthcare bill but will vote for open debate on the Senate floor. The only problem with that is a 60 vote is required to get the bill on the floor for debate, but only 50 votes needed to get the bill passed once it is debated. With 50 votes in support of the measure, the Vice-President gets the chance to give the tie-breaking vote. Any guess what his vote will be? This way, 10 Democrats can vote NO for the final version and go back to their constituents claiming they did not vote for the bill when in actuality they did by voting for a floor debate. Because 10-15 million actually have no insurance because they cannot afford it, nearly 300 million will get screwed.
