ConservaDem Senators Vow to Kill The Bill If It Is Improved.
By Daily kos (about the author) Page 1 of 3 page(s)
For OpEdNews: Daily kos - Writer The Conservadem Senators are vowing to kill the bill unless House Democrats f.ck labor and roll over on all major issues: Sens. Mary Landrieu (D-La.), Blanche Lincoln (D-Ark.) and
Ben Nelson (D-Neb.) have made clear there is little room to deviate
from the bill the Senate passed on Christmas Eve. snip Centrists have said they will not vote for a healthcare
reform bill that imposes a tax surcharge on the nation's highest income
earners or reduces the tax burden on so-called Cadillac health
insurance plans, which are held by many unionized workers.
The HIll: Centrists set strict guidelines for Senate-House healthcare talks Landrieu says FU to union workers: "I can only support a bill if the Cadillac plans are taxed at the
level they are in the Senate [bill,]" said Landrieu. "It's not because
I'm thrilled about taxing those plans, which I'm not, but it is the No.
1 cost-containment measure in the bill. It's what is going to drive
costs down over time."
The HIll: Centrists set strict guidelines for Senate-House healthcare talks And Lincoln demands that the House not make any real improvements: Lincoln also said she has great concern. "If it moves very much at all from where we are, it's going to be hard," she said.
The HIll: Centrists set strict guidelines for Senate-House healthcare talks That's the Merry Christmas from the Gang of 3, and we know Lieberscum will join them. One thing I know is that I will do all I can to defeat Blanche
Lincoln's reelection. ALL. That is My Number 1 Political Priority in
2012. And I think the AFL-CIO and SEIU will be helping. Until we make examples, these people will f.ck working people with impunity. Here's how to start defeating Lincoln:
