Health Care Battle Is Not Over Yet

"Although the left has been celebrating the passage of Obamacare in the Senate as further evidence that the President’s health care reform initiative is a done deal the health care reform fight is not over. The truth is that this bill can not yet be transmitted to the President until very different versions of Obamacare are reconciled. The House and Senate must agree on what to send to the President for his signature before this fight is over."
--The Foundry

This is long from over. The House and Senate can't agree on anything. The House wants a sweeping government run public option, well the senate doesn't really like that idea they want this god-awful medicare buy in or what ever it is, the house thinks that sucks.

The House wants to kill the senate bill, so that right there tells ya, we got a long ways before this is settled. The House also wants a complete ban on tax payer funded abortions, hence the Stupak amendment. The senate on the other hand wants public funded abortions.

This is a mess, and i would say i have to side with the house on this one. We need to kill the senate bill, and start over.
