I hope that you are right Ron, but I am beginning to lose faith. Perhaps Reid’s vulnerablility will help to slow down this bill however.

I would guess that none of them did.

Rjjrdq is correct, the bill was amended and is now HR 3962. According to this press release sections 7201 and 7203 are the sections that mention the penalties for not having insurance.

Yes, we lost a battle, but not the war and the outcome in the Senate looks more promising. I suspect the positions there are hardening with Harry deciding how to approach this issue with all the problems he is facing back in his home state—he likes his job and want to maintain his seat and title. Its very likely that by winning one he will lose the other.

This thing morphed into H.R. 3962. How many of those 220 voters do you think actually read all 1990 pages?

Just to clarify something, but the legislation in question is HR 3200, correct? I am trying to find the mandates section that talks about the possible jail time. Can you point me in the right direction?

I agree with voting them all out but I am afraid that 2010 will be too late.

Since I live in Maryland I was able to go to the Washington House call on the 5th.
When we went into the House all the dems had been called to vote on lame issues just to keep them away from the People. Of course friendly conservative Republicans like Bartlet made their way to their offices to hear us and answer questions. The assistants left in the Dems office’s would not even speak to you unless you were from their district.

Your right the house vote is over take notes and move on.

What needs to happen is a true conservative ground swell that votes out all RINOS and Dems that voted for this bill.
I have made a personal commitment to convince at least 3 Dems that I know that they are actually conservatives and to vote accordingly next November.

Nothing could make me happier then to see every congressman who voted with Polosi lose their seat as a result.
If we don’t do it now we may never get another chance.
