The big question in Washington, DC, remains: Will healthcare legislation pass
in the Senate before lawmakers head home for Christmas?
A week before Christmas, Senate Democrats are still struggling to find 60
votes for their massive healthcare reform bill.
Brian Darling, director of Senate relations for The Heritage Foundation, says although the situation is still
in flux, he believes there will be a vote in the Senate on the healthcare bill
before Christmas. ( Healthcare bill 'may not make it' )
"It seems like moment to moment the landscape
changes," Darling notes. "You had [Senate Majority Leader] Harry Reid
announcing a big deal late last week, and so it appeared that the bill was going
to pass.
The
Heritage spokesman says the only way the Democrats can get the bill passed is if
they make all of their caucus happy -- which to date has been an elusive goal.
(Watch for Sen. Reid, President Obama, and other leaders from the Democrats to try give the farm to people like Sen. Nelson to get his support. Let us pray whatever it takes may Obamacare not become the law of the land.)
