We know what the problem is now with health care in the House. It\u2019s not the Republicans. Look, you gotta understand something. The Republicans can\u2019t stop this. I heard it said today, even if every member and their parents voted against it, they can\u2019t stop this. The Democrats have the votes in both chambers, the House and the Senate. The problem is the <img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/01125107.Par.89380.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignright\"\/>so-called Blue Dog Democrats. But don\u2019t think that these are a bunch of conservatives, these Blue Dogs. The one thing that really bothers them is Obama\u2019s desire to take away from them the power to charge and set Medicare reimbursement fees. That\u2019s something that Congress has long done since Medicaid began and Obama said, no, I want that, so Rahm Emanuel has been up there trying to twist some arms and break some bones and stab some steaks and throw around some dead fish. Pelosi came out yesterday and said, of course, there won\u2019t be a vote before the recess, &#8216;I\u2019m not afraid of a month, I\u2019m not afraid of August.\u2019 However, &#8216;Nancy Pelosi has set the legislative throttle at full-speed-ahead,\u2019 according to Fox, &#8216;as she plans to bring health care reform to a floor vote by the August recess, a move that could inflame tensions in the party and imperil the bill\u2019s passage since fiscally conservative members say they\u2019re still not satisfied. <\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid on Thursday announced that the Senate would wait until after recess to bring the bill to a vote, and President Obama said it was &#8216;OK\u2019 to miss his deadline so long as lawmakers are working in earnest to reach a compromise. Reid\u2019s announcement led some members of the House to wonder why Pelosi feels it\u2019s necessary to hold to a deadline that\u2019s already been broken. &amp;hellip; &#8216;We don\u2019t have a deal yet,\u2019 a senior Blue Dog source said. &#8216;Negotiations continue,\u2019 said another. A third said no details of a pact have been worked out,\u2019 blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. So they want this done, they want the House to vote on this because there\u2019s 435 of those people and most of them are Democrats and they want this voted on before these clowns go home. I know what\u2019s going on. These clowns are going to go home and they\u2019re going to get hell from their constituents, Republicans and Democrats alike, and Rahm wants them to get hell after they\u2019ve already voted. If they get hell before they vote they\u2019re less inclined to vote for it and that\u2019s what\u2019s really going on. The Senate they don\u2019t care about, they\u2019ll get that done, they\u2019ve got the magic of Ted Kennedy to get that done. The House is the big deal. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Yes, Rahm Emanuel is up twisting arms. We know what the problem is now with health care in the House.
