NYT's: Details May Cost Obama Care Some "Yes" Votes

They're at risk of losing votes because the details are coming out. That's why they didn't want to release it at the last minute. They aren't just betraying us, they are betraying their own to try and save Obama. They still don't have the votes. And many they get will come to regret it, big time. We'll make sure of that.

But as lawmakers closely examined a nearly final version of the legislation that was published yesterday with a promise that the bill would more than pay for itself over the next decade, some also said that the fine print contained details, including provisions addressing varying Medicare payments in different states, that might cost the support of members who had been expected to favor the bill.

Democratic leaders and White House officials were continuing the feverish arm-twisting to line up the votes they will need to pass the legislation when it comes to the House floor in the face of intense Republican opposition on Sunday.

Look on the bright side - the real estate market in the metro DC areas is going to jump up in the next two years, beginning just after the upcoming mid session elections and continuing until all the Dems who voted to 'save a presidency' rather than serve the people who elected them, have all packed up and gone home.
