House Ways & Means Committee Chairman Charlie Rangel (D-N.Y.) put aside his many tax problems and prepared H.R. 3200 for the nuclear option. Rangel held a hearing and certified H.R. 3200 has met all requirements to pass as a “budget reconciliation” measure.
House Ways & Means Committee Chairman Charlie Rangel (D-N.Y.) held a hearing this morning to certify that H.R. 3200 -- the main House Obamacare bill which was the subject of all the town hall rage in August -- has met all requirements to pass as a “budget reconciliation” measure.
Under reconciliation, the bill can be passed by a simple majority vote in the Senate -- just 51 votes -- and will be given preferential treatment on the House floor as well. The Dems have apparently invoked the “nuclear option” to shut out Republicans and ensure the bill is passed before the end of the year.
