It’s a damn good thing that Pelosi and Co. decided against the “Deem and Pass” strategy as it would have worked out very badly for them. Even if only after a successful vote for the bill as they presented it, the backlash would have been as deep as it would have been far reaching into the Democratic party.

I won’t say that Ann Coulter’s idea of health care is perfect, but a free market system in health care, as it exists in every other consumer market, is the only real answer for our nations health care reform issues. Let the consumers do what they do best, keep what they want and discard the rest.
I’ve mailed my Representative, have you? Do so now before it’s too late. Thankfully the Texas District 24 Rep. Kenny Marchant isn’t a total moron on this issue and says he’ll vote no, but there are others who aren’t as well guided as he is. As I stated in my letters…

Of course, the fact that they have dropped the unconstitutional deem and pass tactic speaks some volumes about their efforts to get enough votes to pass the bill.

It already is too big now, but it will get bigger with this bill.
