The Senate’s healthcare bill is fatally flawed, a senior Democrat atop a powerful committee said on Wednesday.
Rep. Louise Slaughter (D-N.Y.), the chairwoman of the House Rules Committee and co-chairwoman of the Congressional Pro-Choice Caucus, said that the Senate’s bill is so flawed that it’s unlikely to be resolved in conference with the bill to have passed the House.
“The Senate health care bill is not worthy of the historic vote that the House took a month ago,” Slaughter wrote in an opinion piece for CNN’s website.
Can we say “Nelson Effect”? Everybody and their brother is now out to see what they can get like Ben Nelson.
Sounds like a good idea to me.
Either this bill is dead or our economy will be.
Rep Slaughter is a woman of integrity. She’s also an Episcopalian.
#4 John Wilkins………..
That’s not much of a recommendation, is it?
Liberal Louise, my former congresswoman, represents Rochester, which is a moderate to conservative town (she split the town with a Republican before they basically went from 2 seats to 1 in redistricting). So I’m not shocked to hear this. Roch. is also suffering through job losses at Kodak, Xerox and Bausch & Lomb, so I don’t think it’s a good environment for more burdens on businesses.
Rep. Slaughter is co-chair of the ‘Pro-Choice Caucus’. Sounds right.

Folks–get real. As soon as Nancy and Harry pony up $100M for a zebra farm (or whatever) in Rochester, her moral qualms will evaporate.
