House Energy and Commerce chairman Henry Waxman (D-CA) says his panel’s Blue Dogs must relent, or he and leaders will move health care legislation directly to the floor, bypassing the committee altogether.
This morning, he told reporters that Blue Dogs are trying to “eviscerate” the landmark legislation. “I won’t allow them to hand over control of our committee to Republicans,” Waxman said.
“I dont see what other alternative we have, because we’re not going to let them empower Republicans on the committee.”
