The amendments to Harry Reid’s health care bill continue to pile up. Some of the more important: (1) The McCain amendment to strip the bill of its Medicare cuts. (2) The Mikulski amendment to mandate mammograms and other screenings without co-pays. (3) The Dorgan-Snowe amendment to allow drug re-importatation. (4) The Leahy-Schumer amendment to repeal health insurers’ antitrust exemptions. (5) The coming Nelson amendment to include the Stupak abortion language in the Senate bill. Votes on the McCain and Mikulski amendments were scheduled for today. The Democratic leadership wants to file for cloture — to proceed to a final vote — within two weeks. They want to portray Republicans as obstructionist. But is that so damaging a charge when the Republicans are obstructing unpopular legislation?
