Obama Pays Leading Economist to Support Health Care

Jane Hamsher Infowars.com January 12, 2010 For almost the entirety of the health care debate, the Obama Administration has relied on economist Jonathan Gruber to make the public case for its idea of reform – even the most unpopular parts. But as Firedoglake revealed on Friday , the Obama Administration has failed to disclose that it paid the same economist more than $780,000. Jonathan Gruber’s work has been cited by the White House, Members of Congress, and countless media outlets, but not once did the Obama Administration disclose it was paying him more than $780,000 in tax dollars. This is a huge ethical violation that undermines the entirety of health care reform. Sign our petition to President Obama: come clean on Jonathan Gruber and anyone else receiving public money to push health care reform. http://action.firedoglake.com/gruber Once we broke this scandal, The New York Times, Washington Post, Time Magazine , and other publications all said they should have disclosed Gruber’s lucrative contracts if they were aware of the conflict of interest. Dozens of Members …

Health Bill Passes Key Test in the Senate With 60 Votes

DAVID M. HERSZENHORN and ROBERT PEAR The New York Times December 21, 2009 Senator Ben Nelson, Democrat of Nebraska, announced his support of the bill on Saturday. WASHINGTON — After a long day of acid, partisan debate, Senate Democrats held ranks early Monday in a dead-of-night procedural vote that proved they had locked in the decisive margin needed to pass a far-reaching overhaul of the nation’s health care system. The roll was called shortly after 1 a.m., with Washington still snowbound after a weekend blizzard, and the Senate voted on party lines to cut off a Republican filibuster of a package of changes to the health care bill by the majority leader, Harry Reid of Nevada. The vote was 60 to 40 — a tally that is expected to be repeated four times as further procedural hurdles are cleared in the days ahead, and then once more in a dramatic, if predictable, finale tentatively scheduled for 7 p.m. on Christmas Eve. Both parties hailed the vote as seismic. Democrats said it showed them poised to reshape the health system after…

US Climate Legislation Probably Doomed

Democrats are deeply divided on climate change legislation, and Republicans boycotted the hearings this week, which leaves little hope for passage of legislation this year.  The Senate Environment Committee held three days of hearings on the climate bill last week - it goes to committee debate today.   Democrats from the Midwest, South and Rocky Mountain West are concerned about the impact of the legislation on industry and consumers  Democratic leaders, along with the Obama administration, are attempting to persuade at least six Republicans to vote in favor by compromising on nuclear plants. So far, not one Republican seems interested. Senate Environment and Public Works Committee Chairman Barbara Boxer (D-CA) says she will begin the mark up on climate legislation regardless of the fact that all 7 Republicans on the Committee plan to boycott the proceedings. Republicans say Boxer can’t do a markup without at least two Republicans present. Boxer countered that a provision would allow her to proceed as long as a majority of committee members are present. Democrats outnumber Republicans 12 to 7. “We urge Ranking Member Inhofe, with the utmost respect, to bring the committee…
