Congress Plans to Avoid Debate on Health Care Reform

The Democratic leaders of Congress are finalizing a plan so that the proposed health care reform will only have to meet 51 votes, not the usual 60 required to cut off discussion. The White House and Congress are using this technique to avoid debate on the matter (since Democrats have a majority in both the House and the Senate).

Health Care reform is an important and complex issue which should be discussed at length before being implemented. It looks like that won't be happening.
