No, they did not. The Republicans successfully blocked that too.
Really? There is no such thing as obamacare?
What exactly do you think "Obamacare" is? Because it is NOT, by any means, universal health care.
Thank God for that.

So he exploded because he doesn't like compromise. You see it as NO when it is actually a not yet. Maybe if the republicans weren't used to being told to shut up because we won..... And maybe if all these bills had been brought up in a timely manner. We'll see what happens in the next 2 weeks or so. By the way, ever get a paycheck signed by a poor man?

Look, personally I don't care if that's the stance they take on 99% of other bills. Well, I do mind a bit, but not like this.
This bill is NOT to be used as a political football.
Oh come on that's all anyone in Washington has done since it even got close to Novembers election. No matter what side of the isle it's all been political jockeying.
A tough leftwinger, HAHA.He looks like a pompous little banty rooster.
No, he looks like a tough motherfucker who's not going to take any shit from some rightwing assholes.
Too bad our president doesn't do the same.
That's fucking hilarious!!!
I wonder if he soiled himself?
Yeah, you're right, it's really FUCKING FUNNY, isn't it? It's all a big joke to you, isn't it?
Well done, sir, you've succeeded in showing everyone your true colors.

Except when legislation is so important that it must be passed. This is that legislation.
Exactly, the dimwits always do things to make the republicans look bad.You need to be careful with these things.Nothing is always as it seems.I heard the Republicans explanation
as to why they voted against this bill.But that never makes the so called truth cable channel MSNBC.The Dems pulled some kind of move that the GOP didn't like and when they backed of the little Weiner went nuts.This is meant to make the Republicans look like scumbags but the whole story never makes it out there because the liberal controlled media wants the folks to hate the Republicans.
You know, you guys could just try to argue the bill on it's merits. But since you aren't doing that, i presume that you dont think it has any.
Like you all give a shit. The 9/11 responders HAVE INSURNACE through their jobs. this is just another friggen ploy by you lefties to bludgeon people over the head with.
so NOW who is using 9/11...you and your fellow lefties.
Legislation that is so important that it must be passed doesn't exist. And if it did, you wouldnt have it dropped on us during a lame duck session.
Oh, and if it did exist you could actually argue for it on it's merits instead of playing emotional games.
Not unlike the dimwits forcing the healthcare socialist bill and how many others through without letting anyone read them. The dimwits are wrong and you know it, if you don't educate yourself.There is no filibuster in the House of Representatives. Democrats elected to "fast track" this bill, if it's the one I'm thinking of, which requires a 2/3 majority and not just a simple majority.
So Democrats could pass this if they did not choose to "fast track" the bill.
That is incorrect. Republican senators are in fact filibustering until they get everything they want, like tax breaks for the rich.
You are an idiot, I seem to remember the healthcare bill passed. If it didn't, yeah!!!didn't the demonRats provide healtcare to ALL AMERICANS? once already?
No, they did not. The Republicans successfully blocked that too.
An excellent point, which is completely ignored by the left leaning members in this thread.
I mean they can't even address why they arent recieving health services from their benefits that we all know they had as first responders.
Not only this they act like it a rush when 9/11 happened over 9 years ago. If this was such an important piece of legislation, it should have been brought up years ago.
But they can't argue for the legislation. They just say "9/11" and think it must pass.
That's not how the US works.
Im not saying this is bad legislation. The problem is those who are whining about it not passing arent making any serious arguments for it. Relying on emotions is not a serious argument. That's the argument of a con man.

Yeah, John Stewart is a credible source, I am laughing so hard I am crying.You need to be careful with these things.Nothing is always as it seems.I heard the Republicans explanation

That is also incorrect. I do not in fact watch MSNBC, ever.
I've just watched a whole bunch of actual video footage I found on google, as well as looked at a variety of print media on the subject, all on the internet.
OH, and Jon Stewart of course.

9/11 health bill fails first test, Senate Republicans filibuster measure in 57-42 vote
The Republicans have specifically stated that they were filibustering the bill until they got their tax breaks for the rich.
