Today's House Obamacare Vote Time-line


Here is today's House schedule. Cross your fingers and pray enough Democrats regain their sanity and vote to kill this monstrosity.
Here is a rough estimate of the timing for Sunday's votes:

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.

Lefties are concerned about a GOP “motion to commit.” It sounds like Republicans may try to force "Blue Dog" Democrats to go on record voting against adding abortion restrictions to the health care reform bill. Hmm...
