Health care vote.

Health care vote
The House leadership has decided to abandon the deem and pas option. so today they will have three votes.
  1. A procedural one on the rules of the debate.
  2. A vote on the changes House Democrats have sought to the Senate health care bill.
  3. A vote on the Senate bill itself.
It appears that the people of the country have been heard at least for the moment.

Deem and Pass

Deem and Pass. Is the congress going to deem and pass the health bill and, how does that work?
*The speaker will call a vote on the reconciliation bill.
*If the reconciliation bill passes with 216 votes or more she will remove the senate Healthcare bill from the reconciliation bill.
* The president of the Senate will certify the Senate Health-care bill only(not the reconciliation) and send it to the president.
* The president will sign the Senate Healthcare Bill. Making it law.
* That gives us a Government run health-care system.
That is in a nutshell how this process is said to work. Is it constitutional? I cannot answer that I am just a layman when it comes to the constitutione.
