Last night, the Senate forced another key vote on health care legislation in the dead of night -- on a 383 page amendment that few were allowed to see or further amend.
The only things known about this bill, as stated in a Washington Post op-ed are: "It will not cover everyone. It will not control costs. It will worsen the budget outlook. It will lead to higher taxes. It will disrupt how, or whether, companies provide insurance for their workers."
With the final vote expected on Christmas Eve constituents need to weigh in now.
As Senator Olympia Snowe said:
"Ultimately, there is absolutely no reason to be hurtling headlong to a Christmas deadline on monumental legislation affecting every American... When 51 percent of the American people in a recent survey have said they do not approve of what we are doing, they understand what Congress does not -- and that is, that time is not our enemy, it is our friend.
