Here’s a link to the 2,074 page health care reform bill (HR 3590) released by Senator Reid. A cloture vote to begin floor debate is expected to take place on Saturday 11/21/09. GOP Senators are beginning to close ranks in an attempt to block the bill from being brought to the floor.
I wrote to Senator Ensign regarding the health care reform bill late last week. I got a 4-line email today that basically said … thank you for your inquiry, I’ll keep your concerns in mind as I vote. It didn’t even acknowledge that I’d inquired about the Health Care Reform and specifically asked for his affirmative vote on the bill when it came to the floor. Given his voting record, I doubt he’ll give my concerns a second thought … no doubt he’ll vote with the GOP bloc and not for the citizens of Nevada for whom he was elected to represent. Needless to say … we should ALL send emails to Senator Ensign’s office asking him to vote in favor of the bill. He needs to understand that he represents Nevadans who WANT to see Health Care Reform passed.
