However I...I concur with your reading of the bill. However I would point out that bill opponents are unlikely to have a real fight against this in the House. There just aren't enough sympathetic ears to have a good chance at change. So the various groups will issue protest letters voicing their concerns. When the Senate takes up this matter THEN the real lobbying is going to start. I examine the lack of party discipline and conservative tendency among 'Blue Dog' Democrats in the Senate on the health care bill and see that there's going to be a much better chance of defeating certain provisions (i.e. IST) there. Then there will have to be pressure on the reconciliation process to keep those provisions out of the final bill. I don't think the House wants to get into a big fight with the Senate over IST, so it seems that a more business friendly bill is likely in the end.D_Colemannoreply@blogger.com
