President Barack Obama will meet with Senate Democrats at the White House Tuesday to press for action at a make-or-break moment for his health care overhaul.The message to the Dems will be simple - PASS SOMETHING! At this point it almost doesn't matter what's in the bill as long as a bill passes before Christmas. The Dems can declare victory and proclaim that they've "reformed" health care, and the resulting bureaucratic nightmare that will result will require more reform in the near future and that's where the Dems will get their public option and Medicare buy-in. They'll also start collecting billions in new taxes and setting the table for the destruction of the private health insurance industry.
All 60 members of the Democratic caucus have been invited, according to three Democratic officials. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because the announcement was not yet public.
The meeting comes as Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid works to round up votes to get a sweeping health bill passed before Christmas. The outcome is uncertain with moderates in danger of defecting on issues including abortion and a proposed expansion of Medicare.
They may not get their public option in this bill, but it will be inevitable if this version passes.

If the Idiotic Democrats think they can ram down a Obama Healthcare bill down the throats of the American Public, they may be surprised at just how mad they can make the American Citizens. I wouldn't want to be in any of their shoes.
