New ObamaCARE bill to be revealed on Monday Feb 22 – Harry Reid to use reconciliation to pass it within the next 60 days

BewareObamaCare300The bill that just wouldn’t die is making a comeback, in a new form this coming Monday. Harry Reid will do whatever it takes to pass this bill within the next 60 days, including using the so called “nuclear option” aka reconciliation. Obama will attach the bill to the budget to make this a possibility. This is what’s in store for the coming week that will feature the so called “health care summit” in which Obama will have both Democrats and Republicans to “discuss ideas”. The Hill has more.

“I’ve had many conversations this week with the president, his chief of staff, and Speaker Pelosi,” Reid said during an appearance Friday evening on “Face to Face with Jon Ralston” in Nevada. “And we’re really trying to move forward on this.”

The majority leader said that while Democrats have a number of options, they would likely use the budget reconciliation process to pass a series of fixes to the first healthcare bill passed by the Senate in November. These changes are needed to secure votes for passage of that original Senate bill in the House.

“We’ll do a relatively small bill to take care of what we’ve already done,” Reid said, affirming that Democrats would use the reconciliation process. “We’re going to have that done in the next 60 days.”
