Will HCR Pass The Senate?

Keep hearing it will not. No chance. Anyone know how soon it will come to the Senate?

1. Hopefully the House passage will give it some momentum but so far

2. If I am correct Harry needs 60 votes, not 51 which is easy.

3. If the bill contains insurance mandates, tort reform, insurance companies across state lines, and

nothing else. Yeah, that would pass in the Senate.

10. watch and learn. you probably thought Obama didn't have a chance either.

It's no use telling you how it will happen.
Especially when you would probably prefer that it didn't.

7. There will be a ton of pressure on the Senate to get it done ASAP ...

and pass a bill somewhat similar to the House to simplify the reconciliation process.
