Forget Reconciliation - the fight is in the House

Never matter what the ObamaCare addicts call it -- reconciliation, nuclear option, or "a simple majority", the Senate isn't where the action will be. The action will happen in the House.

As AFP Policy Director Phil Kerpen wrote on FoxNews.com:

Ultimately, it doesn't matter whether or not the Senate passes changes to its health care bill via reconciliation. That's because the reconciliation process cannot even begin until after the House passes the Senate bill exactly as it passed the Senate on Christmas Eve. That means it must pass with the abortion language already rejected by Rep. Bart Stupak and others still intact. It also must pass with the outrageous pork barrel spending deals cut for Nebraska, Louisiana, Connecticut, and others. In other words, the bill must pass the House with everything in it that the American people have already made clear they hate.
