House Democrats divided on President Obama's Health Care Plan

As expected, negotiations broke down mainly because the Congress now wants to look allot more closely on the proposed Health Care Plan. House Democrats are openly speaking that internal negotiations have failed, so now is the time to take a closer look at the issues. Henry Waxman, the House Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman will continue to speak to members of the Blue Dog coalition, fiscal conservatives that are stalling on the bill, but he also make it clear that he intends to move forward with the legislation. He is willing to bypass a committee vote if necessary and take the bill directly to the House floor for a final vote. But I highly doubt that this will take place. Without support of the fiscal conservative democrats, the bill will most likely fail, according to Arkansas Rep. Mike Ross, who is a member of the Blue Dog coalition. President Obama will continue to sell his plan to the Congress, and push the issue in front of the public. The coalition is mainly against government-funded public health insurance and the cost of the plan - $1 trillion. Only one out of ten items of question in the health reform bill have been addressed. Senate Speaker Nancy Pelosi believes that she has enough votes to get it through in the Senate, but many other people disagree. Regardless, the vote will not take place until the August summer break. God forbid if Congress was to miss their vacation. After all, the health plan is not that important. Right? Of course it is important, and President Obama is accepting a delay as long as the Congress keeps working on passing a bill.
