The Schedule for Today’s Expected Heath Care Reform Votes in the House
Here’s the schedule for today’s expected health care reform votes in the House of Representatives. Note that it’s going to be a long, politically dramatic day with expected votes on the “fixes” to the Senate bill, reconciliation and President Barack Obama signing it if it passes. The next step (and resulting drama) will be when the bill goes to the Senate for a vote. Via CBS:
2 p.m.: The House will debate for one hour the rules of debate for the reconciliation bill and the Senate bill.
3 p.m.: The House will vote to end debate and vote on the rules of the debate.
3:15 p.m.: The House will debate the reconciliation package for two hours.
5:15 p.m.: The House will vote on the reconciliation package.
5:30 p.m.: The House will debate for 15 minutes on a Republican substitute and then vote on the substitute.
6 p.m.: The House will vote on the final reconciliation package.
6:15 p.m.: If the reconciliation bill passes, the House will immediately vote on the Senate bill, without debate.

Washington D.C is on EDT (Greenwich -4) now, correct?
It's EDT, though I'm not sure off the top of my head where we are relative to Greenwich time.
Thanks. Seven hours to go, anyway.
Quick question,
Do you think Pelosi will have the bill pass 216-215 or is she needing to get to 217-214 so no one rep is “the” vote?
So if the vote is over tonight does that mean Rahm Emmanuel will release the children of the undecided Democrats before bedtime ?

Sorry, heard that line on the radio and thought it was cute.
Patrick,
Depends on whether he thinks there really are Byrd rule issues with the sidecar ; )
LOL Steve…
Obviously my comment was in jest but it is funny that even those on the left have to agree it's a tactic you wouldn't put past Emmanuel
