Meek backs reconciliation vote on health care reform
by Michael C. Bender | March 5th, 2010U.S. Senate candidate Kendrick Meek on Friday called for a simple majority vote and reconciliation process to approve President Obama’s health care reforms.
“We Floridians deserve an up-and-down vote on health care,” the Democratic candidate said at a campaign rally in Boynton Beach. “There can be no ‘let’s start all over again.’ We can’t move the goal post further and further away. We need health care and we need it to be affordable.”

With little real possibility of meaningful compromise with the Republicans at this stage, the Democrats really have few disincentives to avoid the use reconciliation. Also taking into account the threats by Stupak and his willingness to kill all reform if he doesn’t get his way on abortion means that reconciliation may be the only possible way to enact a reform bill.

why arent dems taking their case to the people by explaining what’s in the bill? why arent reps offering their own plan? mostly I only see this issue discussed in the broadest terms and in the context of us vs them. why are they wasting our time and money and killing people in the process?
