Republicans complained that Democrats are trying to avoid directly dealing with the Senate bill, which is unpopular in the House and, according to polls, with many Americans. Democrats countered that the vote on the rule, in effect, will indicate how Democrats feel about the Senate measure and that they therefore are not trying to hide from the political fallout.
“The American public deserves to know where their elected officials stand and not have them hide behind a procedural vote,” Rep. Dave Camp (R-Mich.) said Saturday morning.
Rep. Joe Barton (R- Texas) unsuccessfully urged rules committee chairwoman Louise M. Slaughter (D-N.Y.) to pass an open rule instead of the “deemed to have passed” version so that policy differences between Democrats and Republicans could be openly debated.
“This process corrupts and prostitutes the system,” he said.

Along with eight Democrats and one Republican as co-sponsors, Stupak had introduced a resolution Friday that would insert his abortion restrictions as a “correction” to the underlying bill. That would add new complications to the already complex strategy Democrats are pursuing to pass the bill, requiring additional votes on a highly charged issue. Abortion opponents are divided over whether restrictions on taxpayer funding for abortion already in the bill go far enough.
The House Rules Committee worked through the day Saturday to set the terms for the vote. Democratic leaders dropped plans to “deem and pass” the bill with a vote simply on the rule, a procedure used by both parties but one that has been widely criticized for legislation as massive as health care overhaul.
“This process corrupts and prostitutes the system,” said Rep. Joe Barton, R-Texas, pleading with the Rules Committee head, Rep. Louise Slaughter, to allow separate votes on the underlying Senate bill and the fixes.

The official action on Saturday was in the House Rules Committee, which labored to set the formal terms of the debate for Sunday’s showdown.
Before Democrats decided to take a direct vote on the Senate health care bill, Representative Joe L. Barton, Republican of Texas, described the plans to approve it without a direct vote as “a sleight-of-hand subterfuge” that would allow lawmakers to avoid accountability.
“This process corrupts and prostitutes the system” and could “unleash a cultural war” over the legislation, Mr. Barton said.

… I need to take my medication. My happy pills,” she said, as she pushed aside some of the empty Red Bull cans that were strewn about her Studio City house. She wouldn’t name the medication but explained, “Just so much has been going on, my doctor has been giving me stuff to help me cope.”
It was a late, very rainy evening in January, and the 28-year-old reality television star and tabloid mainstay — born Thien-Thanh Thi Nguyen — had not had a good day. Only a few moments earlier, she’d opened the door to her home to find that her dog, Onyx, had chewed up a pair of her Lucite heels. She chained him to a stripper pole. With a Swiffer mop from the kitchen, she tried to brush aside the pieces of chewed up shoe, but the Velcro mop affixed itself to her rug instead. “I don’t know how to use this thing,” she said, tossing it aside in frustration.

The day’s first battleground was the House Rules Committee, which began meeting in the morning. Republicans repeatedly accused the Democrats of trying to avoid a politically charged vote on the Senate bill through a parliamentary maneuver called “deemed to have passed.”
Originally, leaders were considering incorporating the Senate version of the healthcare bill that was passed before Christmas into the package of amendments. This process — commonly used in prior Congresses — would “deem” the Senate bill passed without a debate that the GOP would like to have for its own political reasons in this midterm election year.
Rep. Joe Barton (R-Texas) urged rules Committee Chairwoman Louise M. Slaughter (D-N.Y.) to pass an open rule instead of the “deemed to have passed” version so that policy differences between Democrats and Republicans could be openly debated.

Congressional analysts estimate the cost of the two bills combined would be $940 billion over a decade. The bill would remake one-sixth of the U.S. economy. The United States is the only major industrialized country that does not have a comprehensive national health care plan.
Under a complex and controversial procedure Democrats have devised, a single vote will likely be held in the House to endorse a bill approved by the Senate last year as well as a second measure with a package of fixes agreed to in negotiations with the White House.
The Senate would then use a procedure called reconciliation to pass the fix-it measure that requires only a simple majority of 51 in the 100-member body, avoiding Republican delaying tactics.
“This process corrupts and prostitutes the system,” said Republican Rep. Joe Barton of Texas, pleading with the Rules Committee head, Rep. Louise Slaughter of New York, to allow separate votes on the underlying Senate bill and the fixes.
