#4 This is just for public consumption. The HC will vote just as lock step as will all the others.

This is why Pelosi is considering to make "reconciliation" by voice vote only, to give CYA to Democrats.

#5 tu, that is a RACIST thing to say. Everybody knows that it's OK for them but NOT for us. So just hush up and let me enjoy my popcorn.

#6 The Senate language would prohibit illegal immigrants buying healthcare coverage from the proposed health exchanges. The House-passed bill isnt as restrictive, but it does like the Senate bill bar illegal immigrants from receiving federal subsidies to buy health insurance.

Hispanic Democrats say they havent moved from their stance that they will not vote for a healthcare bill containing the Senates prohibitions.

Why are they talking about this? Illegal immigrants don't need health care because they won't be here. Right? And if they aren't here, then they won't mind if they get their a$$es kicked out when discovered and leave all their stuff behind. Including their nonexistant kids in school here.

#7 It will be a recorded vote, not a voice vote, per Article I, Section 5 of the Constitution:

... Each House shall keep a Journal of its Proceedings, and from time to time publish the same, excepting such Parts as may in their Judgment require Secrecy; and the Yeas and Nays of the Members of either House on any question shall, at the Desire of one fifth of those Present, be entered on the Journal. ...

It takes just 88 Republicans to demand a recorded vote. I trust that will happen.
