Will the lawsuits stall health care reform legislation?

Several lawsuits are being filed over "bribes" to states such as Nebraska and Louisiana in order


to get federal legislation passed. Will these lawsuits be effective? Will it slow things down?





What happens now in terms of legislative procedure before it gets to Obama for signing?





How long will it take before it is signed?|||The lawsuits will mean nothing until the legislation is passed and Obama signs it. It's currently in Congress. The House passed one version and the Senate passed another. Now they have to work out the differences and come up with one that both houses can agree on. Then it goes to Obama to sign, and after he does, then the lawsuits can begin.





How long will it take before he signs it? Depends on how long it takes to work out a compromise between the two houses. Remember, the Senate had to make a lot of changes to get enough votes to pass it, and if they take too many of those out, they may lose some votes and not be able to pass the final bill.
