Democrats say reform before end of year is highly unlikely.
Senior Congressional Democrats told ABC News today it is highly unlikely that a health care reform bill will be completed this year, just a week after President Barack Obama declared he was "absolutely confident" he'll be able to sign one by then.
"Getting this done by the by the end of the year is a no-go," a senior Democratic leadership aide told ABC News. Two other key Congressional Democrats also told ABC News the same thing.
This may come as an unwelcome surprise for the White House, where officials from the president on down have repeatedly said the health care bill would be signed into law by the end of the year.

REPUBLICAN TAKES NJ BY 5%..."
More wins for conservatives. What a great Election Day.
It wasn't "reform" anyway!

We can safely say that Health care “reform”is a dead stick.
look’s like public option is dead if any moderate/blue dog dems want to win next year..
You're not going to get it done in 2010 an election year either. The Rats throwing in the towel?
Beware! This ain’t over yet. The Dems could put death care on the back burner for a while; then push it through when we aren’t looking.
What’s the Yogi Berra saying??? The game’s not over until it’s over.
“The Rats throwing in the towel?”
At least temporarily, but let’s not let our guard down.
this illustrate that there are alot of DEMS who are more concerned about their own jobs then doing the right thing for their ideology. The worst type of politicans imho. We have them on the GOP side as well. Self serving individuals
“Beware! This ain’t over yet. The Dems could put death care on the back burner for a while; then push it through when we aren’t looking.”
I agree, but it shows what we conservatives can do if we keep on fighting, so let’s KEEP ON FIGHTING.
Yup, we need to get rid of self-serving and liberal Dems AND Republicans.
Does this mean I won’t get my end-of-life counseling now?
Oh, damn!
Just want to add: Tuesday was a great day for conservatism, including social conservatism. Maine repealed gay marriage.
If Hoffman won, it would have been perfect, but he’ll probably win next year, and on this Election Day we won a LOT! I’m so happy, I can’t sleep.
“Does this mean I won’t get my end-of-life counseling now?”
For the time being, but we need to keep fighting. The devil always comes back.
I HOPE that the whole damn bill is dead... (now they are saying it might be pushed back AGAIN -- how many times will that make the delay, four, more?)
Per my sig, this is NOT about health care (or insurance), it's about someone being able to lay claim to health care, with their name attached to it. Their LEGACY, paid for by us. PERIOD

I was going to say as well..they aint getting it in 2010 either, so they can just FORGET IT.
Interestingly, I went to see an eye doc in Canada once. He told me to google the problem myself. What a guy.
I think Michele Bachmann’s upcoming rally has a lot to do with this, as well as the Dems seeing how badly they were doing in the polls.
From Rush, on Michele’s rally:

It’s already bad for the Dems in this election WITHOUT passage of Obamacare. Imagine the outright crushing blow to Dems in 2010 if Obamacare were to pass.
It's dead Jim.
