House Democrats prepare to flood GOP with amendments to health-care bill

Democrats are preparing to flood their colleagues across the aisle with a long list of amendments to the legislation. While most of the Democratic amendments are expected to fail, Wednesday offers supporters of Obama’s Affordable Care Act an opportunity to force Republicans to take formal positions on thorny healthcare issues.

One Democratic committee aide said the intent is to “make some Republicans take some really tough votes” that are “revealing” about GOP’s priorities on health care.
