Remember: A Vote To More The Health Care Bill Forward Is A Vote For Government Health Care
Over the weekend the Democrats will be forcing a vote to begin debate of the health care bill in the Senate. This is a procedural vote, and if they get 60 votes the bill doesn’t necessarily pass. It must also clear a 60 vote cloture vote to end debate and then a final simple majority vote to pass.
That being said, any vote to advance this bill is a vote for government health care. We don’t want this bill. There’s nothing that can be changed about it that would make it a better bill. The bill forces us only to buy health care from among government-approved health care plans through a government-run health care exchange.
That’s government health care, and it’s unacceptable. North Dakotans, contact your Senators using the information below. Everyone else, call the Congressional switchboard at (202)224-3121.
