In Michigan, there's a common legislative procedure known as a tie-bar. The legislation doesn't become effective unless another piece of legislation passes. This seems to be relatively unknown at the federal level. Michigan congressional representatives that have been state legislators should be familiar with the process, and can educate the others.
Pass the fixes through the U.S. House and Senate under reconciliation. Use a tie-bar to prevent them from taking effect without specific sections of the full health care bill.
Then, the House can safely pass the Senate version of the bill. |
