The Obama Care bill, which SHOULD HAVE BEEN VOTED ON BY We The People, was slipped into by Democrats on Christmas Eve Morning in 2009 with NOT ONE REPUBLICAN voting FOR it. This is only one of the atrocious slippery deals this president has shoved down the throats of the American people. Below is an excerpt of the news article on Christmas Day, 2009. Not surprising one of the few times the president has forgone a holiday to take care of government business. Dont tell me this was not orchestrated to further his agenda AGAINST THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE! =============== Senate passes health-care bill on 60-39 vote By Shailagh Murray and Lori Montgomery, December 25, 2009 ..... Senate Democrats approved landmark legislation just after sunrise Christmas Eve that would transform the nations health-care system by requiring people without insurance to obtain coverage and protecting those who have it from the most unpopular private insurance practices. Vice President Biden presided over the 60 to 39 party-line vote, described as a historic milestone by senators on both sides of the aisle. Despite the early hour, Democrats sat alert at their desks, exhausted but exuberant, savoring a victory that had eluded so many of their predecessors. This is probably the most important vote that every sitting member of the Senate will cast in their tenure here, said Sen. Christopher J. Dodd (D-Conn.), one of the authors of the bill. The toughest stretch may lie ahead as House and Senate leaders attempt to fuse their separate bills with their different approaches to providing coverage and paying for it. And Republicans vow to make the process as difficult as possible, in hopes of stopping the legislation. Click here to subscribe. President Obama delayed a family holiday trip to Hawaii until after the 7 a.m. vote was gaveled to a close. Seven presidents have tried to pass comprehensive health insurance reform, seven presidents have failed since Theodore Roosevelt proposed universal coverage in 1912, Obama noted in brief remarks before he left the White House. But no effort had ever come this distance. We are now finally poised to deliver on the promise of real, meaningful health insurance reform, Obama said. Once the House and Senate merge their bills, he added, this will be the most important piece of social legislation since the Social Security Act passed in the 1930s and the most important reform of our health-care system since Medicare passed in the 1960s. The Senate bill passed without a single GOP vote, after a 25-day floor debate marked by biting partisan rhetoric. As Democrats overcame divisions and closed ranks, accepting concessions to push the bill through, Republicans became fierce in opposition. Even Sen. Olympia J. Snowe (R-Maine) -- a moderate courted over many months by Obama -- responded No, frowning when the Senate clerk called her name. Republicans made one concession: They allowed the final vote to be moved up from evening to early morning, so senators and staff could travel home to spend Christmas with their families. But Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.) pledged that the battle will continue when Congress returns in January. This fight is not over. This fight is long from over, he said. My colleagues and I will work to stop this bill from becoming law. .... Also, this was done before any of the Senators, Democrat OR Republican had had a chance to read and study the bill.
