Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-NY) didn’t shy away moments ago from comments he made earlier today suggesting that the House was unlikely to simply swallow the Senate’s health care bill whole — something that may be necessary to ensure health care reform is passed if Democrat Martha Coakley loses the Massachusetts Senate race tonight.
If Coakley loses, Weiner said on MSNBC a few minutes ago, “I don’t see how we get this done.”
If we wake up tomorrow and there’s only 59 Democratic votes, I don’t see how we get this done. Now I think we’ve made some crucial mistakes along the way, by making this more complicated than it needs to be.
Earlier today, Weiner said that he thought it would be “very hard” to get the House to pass the Senate’s health care bill.
