Murray, Cantwell Vote to Shut Down Discussion on New Health Bill
Washington State Democrat Senators Murray and Cantwell voted, at 1:30 am Saturday night, to shut down discussion of the Reid Amendment to the Health Care Bill before anyone has had time to even read it. Just hours after it was submitted, the virtually new health care bill was clotured to not allow any discussion of the bill. Democrats are bypassing the legislative process that tweaks and allows Senators to point out and correct any major flaws in new bills.
Senators are trying to shove this massive health care plan down the throats of Americans quickly, while they are busy with holiday festivities. This unpopular bill, which has only a 34% approval rating by the American public, is odious to Americans who see it as a take over of their health care. They are correct in this assumption, for this bill allows the government to view people’s personal bank accounts and to make transfers from them to pay for individuals health care, as the government deems people are able. It forces everyone to have health insurance, or pay a hefty fine. Many people, approximately 18 million, either self-insure or insure by other means.
Call your senator NOW and every day untill Christmas Day. Do not let them believe they can sneak it past the American public. Call now!!!
