I DIDN'T WANT TO SEE A DOCTOR, ANYWAY

Centrist Dem Leader: Has Committee Votes To Block Health Bill

By Martin Vaughan, Of DOW JONES NEWSWIRES

WASHINGTON -(Dow Jones)- U.S. Rep. Mike Ross, D-Ark., a leader of fiscally conservative House Democrats, said Wednesday a House plan to overhaul the U.S. health-care system is losing support and will be stuck in committee without changes.

"Last time I checked, it takes seven Democrats to stop a bill in the Energy and Commerce Committee," Ross told reporters after a House vote. "We had seven against it last Friday; we have 10 today."

So the concept of national health care doesn't really bother these guys, it just needs a little fine tuning. Maybe like a tweak here of some pork project in someones district or a little nudge there of some sort of prime committee membership. Who knows, maybe there is some honor and real concern for the future of our country. My guess is, though, this is just a way to bargain for personal advantage. Maybe put on a little show of dissent for the folks back home to show that the statists really aren't goose stepping hand in hand towards our brave new world. In the end, enough will vote for whatever the leadership tells them to vote for to get the noose pulled that much tighter around our necks. European socialism here we come.
