Generally, the competition for votes in the House has centered around an expansion in Medicaid and the creation of a government plan to be inserted into the healthcare economy, spurring competition. Although the WH won’t admit it, will some top Dems use these two Republican victories to delay debate well into 2010 and another (infinitely more crucial) election cycle? | LINK
