Senate Republicans predicted Wednesday that 40 members would be against the caucus unanimously, health care reform despite the amendments by the Democratic leadership to make the product more palatable to conservatives.
Sen. John Thune (RS.D.) the Huffington Post said it was not likely to be the dropping of the public choice on the bill cover a lot of moderate Democrats to support even the Republican Senators Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins to win both of Maine.
"I think our side believes that it is a very bad idea for a program that has sunk and more people take."
Both Thune and Senator John McCain (R-Ariz.) said they thought at the last minute changes on the Senate version of the health - particularly the decision to expand Medicare coverage for as young as 55-year-old was - a "Hail Mary" attempt on the part of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) to get the votes necessary to overcome a Republican filibuster.
"This is like Groundhog Day. Déjà VU it all again, every day after we are up and new idea to try to figure out how to vote 60," Thune said.
Noting that Senator Joe Lieberman "support (I-Conn.) a Medicare buy-in provision in the 2000 campaign, with Thune:" Maybe that attempt to require them in - something he past. I do not know how it helps them with moderates on the sides, which cited concerns about the government-run health. But of course, they figure out how to select one or more of their own country. "
He seems to believe that Reid and interest that the latest round of compromises they enter the votes necessary to cut Republican filibuster. The debate is moving fast, but is a result of lack of information on current legislation. On Wednesday, Republicans sought to provide a database that is widely reported - the Medicare buy-in - painting as a financial death sentence for killer of hospitals and doctors.
"We had not heard of such a proposal for each of the recommendations made and that we know the details yet," said McCain. "But the American Medical Association and the American Hospital Association and many other groups that many have heard that they are against this provision."
Democrats have said that under the proposal, 55-to-64 year olds who wish to be covered by Medicare to pay a premium, the senator still saw the downfall of the government budget-run program.
Not "Number one, obviously in the premiums paid enough because the Medicare trustees that the system is going bankrupt in seven years," McCain said. "Number two, there is concern that people can not pre-existing conditions to get insurance elsewhere. Third of all, you are growing, eventually the people in Medicare significantly by the time much more soon.
"I have always thought that Medicare is one way to ensure our seniors," he concluded. "This was the original design. And I think, and perhaps it from my side, but I think that young 55 to Fri."
