What now? With the Slaughter solution toast, Philip Klein reports on the House Dems next move coming Monday:
Michelle Malkin A wrench in Dems Wreckonciliation plans, butRep. Paul Ryan says that Democrats are ready to ram a shell health care bill through the Budget Committee, on which he serves as ranking Republican member, to use as a vehicle to impose national health care.
In a phone interview with TAS Thursday afternoon, Ryan said that he expects Democrats to begin the complex process on Monday, under which they would have the Budget Committee approve a phantom bill by midnight, which they will then send over to the Rules Committee. At that point, the Rules Committee will strip out all of the language in the phantom bill, and insert the changes to the Senate bill that Democrats have negotiated.
They dont have the votes right now, but theyre creating the vehicle so that they can airdrop in whatever changes they want, Ryan said.
