House Democrats appear set to pass Senate bill without voting on it

Republicans now expect Democrats to pass health care through the House with a trick only Capitol Hill could dream up: approving the Senate bill without voting on it. Democrats will vote on a separate bill that includes language stating that the original Senate bill is “deemed passed.” So by voting for the first bill — a reconciliation measure to fix certain things in the Senate bill — that will automatically pass the second bill — the original Senate bill — without a separate roll call taking place. It’s called the “Slaughter Solution” (prepare for a weekend of endless TV gabbing about it). WRH permalink
