Democrats ’strategy’ to the merger of bills to reform health began to come under increasing attacks from Wednesday, including criticism from two Democratic senators from Colorado. The final negotiations on the merger of bills began in earnest on Wednesday as leaders of Congress spent more than eight hours behind closed doors in the White House through a process that a formal conference committee will cut the Republican participation. They dig a number of contentious issues between the two versions of the bill passed by the House and Senate – including abortion, access to health insurance for illegal immigrants, and how to pay for the right scan, and an estimated 37 million Americans ensures the next ten years. A statement from the White House said they had “significant progress in reducing the outstanding gaps” between accounts made. The Republicans have howled about the process for almost two weeks – House, John Boehner, leader of the minority, the Republican of Ohio, called it “a breeding ground for many of the commissions illegal” – but Congress leaders are now facing a growing rebellion within his own ranks. Wednesday, Senator Mark Udall, Democrat of Colorado. suggested that the lack of transparency and calls made an appeal broadcast on the final negotiations. Sen. Michael Bennett, Democrat of Colorado., said that final talks should be opened to cameras live. “I have been in Washington, but one thing I can say is that this is a city that some fresh air and some real transparency could use, “said Bennett.” The results of the negotiations on the bill of health reform are too important to be done behind closed doors. “This criticism could lead to large problems for efforts to end the health bill and give another right to the press this year election cycle swamps Congress. The media and others have said recent television negotiations between Congress and the Senate would be natural given the enormous potential impact of legislation . Instead, Democrats have a process in which leaders of the House and Senate to forge compromises key, then send the bill restored in both chambers. These negotiations are expected for days if not weeks, and Democratic leaders said that the conference would only Republicans – just one of them voted invoices on one of the cameras – a new opportunity to offer in the obstruction. “This non-conference conference was an attempt this process to accelerate and bring it to a end. A committee of the conference seemed an area where the Republicans more than Democrats and liberals angry attack on the pipeline, “said Julian Zelizer, an expert on Congress at Princeton University.” The problem is that he looks bad. Republicans can use this to say health is very fast and head behind closed doors because the Democrats want to hide something, “he said. “That is why we are seeing now put the Democrats nervous about the process.”

Republican Scott Brown, fresh from his victory in the race for U. S. Massachusetts Senate, asked the Secretary to immediately send him to Washington, saying Wednesday they want to reform health insurance to send “back to the drawing board.” Although the state usually wait at least 10 days to collect postal votes for certification, the senator-elect said he was “confident” his margin of victory – five points and nearly 110,000 votes – more than the number of votes outstanding. Brown is the brake job, if he swear the 41st Republican in the Senate, 60 Democrats breaking super-voting and may have given health system quickly if the camera again for the final vote. “Since the election is not in doubt, I hope the Senate seat me the basis of these statements is not official,” said Brown, adding that he had already spoken with members of the delegation of the State Congress, including Senator John Kerry, and the trip to Washington on Thursday. “I think it is important to begin to walk, because there are some very important issues facing our country.” On health care reform, said he wants “everyone” or some type of medical coverage, but questioned plans to cut Medicare and increasing taxes to do so. video Brown get ready to hit the ground ready for immediate Running Brown “I think we can do better,” he said. Republican senator said he voted focused on a move to Washington as soon as possible to try to release the political deadlock in that country. “I’ve always just wanted out and the problem, regardless of party,” said Brown of NBC’s Today Show program. “While in Washington to talk about what someone said in one book and this step, we have some serious problems when it comes to excessive taxes, excessive spending and Al Qaeda are trying to murder us. So we need to get back to basics and start solving problems that affect every person in this country, “he said. Brown insurgent candidacy has forced the Democrats to the basic concepts on various issues including the proposed reform of health insurance that large fixed costs of nearly 1 trillion U.S. dollars in 10 years to review. They are also reconsidering the items used in the November election campaigns. When he won the Senate seat in Massachusetts for nearly the same margin President Obama Senator John McCain won in November 2008, Brown carried the Democrats’ filibuster-proof majority and can pull a reversal of Obama – claiming a mandate for health care legislation now stuck in Congress to defeat. Despite the turmoil, Obama adviser David Axelrod said that officials of the message delivered on Tuesday, voters will be considered, but refused to go. “It is a limited possibility for a problem that will only worsen leave,” said Axelrod healthcare bill. Senator Susan Collins, Maine Republican, said one of the many messages from Massachusetts is the choice that Americans are tired of partisan paralysis, but The voters had a much more comprehensive recommendation. “They want better performance from Washington, to address the economy in trouble and need for more jobs i. .. that they are tired, it’s love sneaks into the medical care bill. They want this kind of bill to be negotiated in the open air. And they are tired of politics as usual, also want. They do not want unrestricted control of one party, “said Collins on Fox News. Collins said he can not a bill” that imposed billions of dollars in new taxes to support Medicare bars 500 billion U.S. dollars and may even cause insurance rates go up “.” In fact, we start from scratch and create a complete dual Bill, “he said, but the governor of Pennsylvania Ed Rendell, said the Americans are opposed to changes in health insurance because” administration and its supporters, including myself, have not done a good job explaining to people what this bill. “Rendell said he wants to return to the drawing board to better communicate the message. If that fails, and a filibuster threat is that the Democrats should not cave fair “, but the other side has to” explain why they try to put the bill with such a policy to block. “” I have heard no good alternative to a Republican offer, unless we begin at the beginning, let’s start again. Start all for what? ” He asked. Rendell said he wants to bring in evidence of the Republican Party. “This filibuster, take down and talk endlessly and endlessly about why it is bad for the American people and what is the alternative,” he said. While the debate continues on whether to dismiss the assurance of one year healthcare reform effort, some Republicans also consider whether they can repeat the performance in Massachusetts in other countries. Seven Senate seats now held by Democrats are now considered as pull-ups in November – Nevada, Colorado, Arkansas, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Delaware and Connecticut. Four Republican members are in the same situation – Missouri, Kentucky, Ohio and New Hampshire. “I think everyone in the November elections should take seriously the people of Massachusetts had to say in this special Senate election,” said Senator Joe Lieberman. D-Conn. Senator John Cornyn, Texas Republican National Republican senators Committee chief, said the Democrats across the country are aware “Americans are ready for the party in power to remain responsible for their irresponsible spending and out of touch agenda.” But Democratic senators Campaign Committee Chairman Robert Menendez warned that “with only one choice and that means for the extrapolation of partial examinations 10 months away.” However, Menendez said he did not hide what has happened and Democrats will sort through the lessons in the coming days.

When it comes to reforming the health of the president, Congress representatives of the two southern Arizona are considered “in play”, not the votes that can be committed in one direction. What is putting both under heavy pressure from the pointy end of the stick which is perched on a fence or the other. Congressman Raul Grijalva, who loves the fact that Senate Bill a public option, he was summoned to the White House Thursday afternoon with seven other progressives with an incumbent president who has said he wants sewn in that effort when Congress leaves for the Easter holiday on March 26. Grijalva left the Roosevelt Room Summary sounded closely with the President, despite the absence of a government which considers critical. After the meeting, said a partial victory in health care would be better than losing everything, at this point. Congresswoman Gabrielle Gifford, meanwhile, the purpose of the meetings of the party and now a week long “Code Red” robocall campaign of the National Republican Congressional Caucus, which the voters are in swing districts. The script called Gifford warns listeners to “before it is too late to tell him to vote no to Nancy Pelosi dangerous health system.” On the other hand, the Organization of America says an ad in USA Today learned: “You fight, we fight.” He pledged 8 million hours of volunteer representatives in Congress to help maintain constant support of the plan that Gifford has already said he does not like. Arizona Manager Jessica Jones said that so far, 700 volunteers are committed to helping Democrats in the state. “We will ensure that a backup of your legislators and let them know that their voters behind them,” said Jones, like many Americans uninsured were too long. “We’ve been debating this one years ago and it’s really time for the truth. We need this bill to see.” Although the majority of the Senate and House of Representatives adopted separate versions of health care must be installed in identical versions before it can be right. And with the loss of 60 votes in the Senate with the election of Scott Brown, the plan seems to have the most traction so far revolves around the House signed off on the bill the Senate adopted on Christmas Day. But House Democrats have a lot that is not in this package. In January, Gifford sent a letter to Speaker of the House Pelosi said that the Senate version of reform would be too costly where the state fiscal situation is already precarious. This package can cost $ 4000000000 in Arizona over the next ten years, she wrote, because the conditions necessary to bring more people in the census for the state version of Medicaid, providing medical care to residents with low incomes. His spokesman, CJ Kara Margin said if the bill to the floor of the house with the language they encounter in January, will be unable to support it. When asked whether she could offer its support if the problems are solved in the reconciliation, Kara Margin said: “We have to weigh whether that promise is made.” Although the leadership of the House has already included Gifford and Harry Mitchell’s representative, as one of the many potential switchers vote, “Gifford was not part of the group was invited to sit with the president Thursday. Grijalva said the group ventilated with complaints about the bill, particularly the lack of public policy. As President Obama said he reportedly promised to continue working in these areas, highlighted the benefits package of more money for community health centers for more regulation on insurance companies. I drew a parallel with the Social Security, which started small but grew over time to the program right now the search has become. “The president made a convincing case,” said Grijalva. “He presented an argument that if we This first block, the rest will never succeed. “need not be a vote count, said Grijalva.” This week will be more painful for me. I hate to vote for a bill that no open option, but do not want to opponents of health care reform to a victory, either. ”
