Democrats have decided to not use the controversial deem and pass strategy to pass their health care bill. Deem and pass is when House members would approve the Senate's version of the health care bill without an actual vote, before taking up a second "fix it" resolution, known as reconciliation. House majority leader Steny Hoyer said that he believed that Democrats have enough votes to pass the health care bill.

My Opinion: I am glad that the controversial tactic is not going to happen. However, I still hope that this bill doesn't pass without some major overhauls including abortion and reducing the cost.
