The House Budget Committee will begin marking up the reconciliation bill on Monday, beginning the first step in the legislative process to pass reform.
It'll be exciting to see what hateful Republican and Faux News nonsense starts to come out in their desperation to kill it.
Part of this move forward is House Speaker Nancy Pelosi giving up on Rep. Bart Strupek's almost incomprehensible drive to load up the bill with anti-choice language, even as it's been proven that protections already exist to keep government subsidies from covering abortions. Nice, Nancy, and about time.
Also about time that the Senate moved ahead on banking reform without Republican interference...nice move, Chris Dodd.
PS: MoveOn members on passing the bill:
Should MoveOn support or oppose the final health care bill if it looks like the plan recently proposed by President Obama?
Support 83
Oppose 17
Take that, Dennis Kucinich.
