Senate to vote after the midnight hour
If you did not get a chance to listen to the reading of the bill on the Senate floor yesterday, there was sweeping new package of changes to the health reform bill, There was a couple of things to make not of, Hollywood has been a big propionate of healthcare for everyone it is the PC thing to do. Must have got their cell phones speed dials working as the Beverly Hills tax was cut, the five-percent tax on elective cosmetic surgery, known as the Botox-tax. Why was there a need to cut this they put in its place, the bill will add a 10-percent tax on indoor tanning. The tax would apply to the use of tanning beds that deliver UV radiation that means tan in a can is not taxed, when passed the tax becomes effective on July 1, 2010. Speaking of when passed the senate will debate the bill from 1pm to 11:30pm and vote at 1AM on Monday morning. Minority Leader Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, said yesterday that if democrats were proud of this bill they would not backroom deal it, then try to pass in the middle of the night. He would not give up is they republicans had any more parliamentary options to stall the bill. This should make for an interesting day and long night. The backroom deals that got the votes from senators in Vermont and Nebraska means they will pay less than 48 other states. All we can say is they can take reform out of the language because all this bill does is allow 30 million new customers for healthcare insurers and the taxpayers will make sure the premium is paid.
