Entire Senate GOP vows to block policy changes in health bill - The Hill's Blog Briefing Room: "All Senate Republicans wrote Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) on Wednesday, vowing to oppose any policy-driven changes to the healthcare bill in the Senate.
All 41 GOP senators signed a letter to Reid pledging to uphold the 'Byrd rule,' which requires that all elements of a bill passed using budget reconciliation rules be strictly related to the budget.
The GOPers' pledge amounts to a threat to block any changes sought by Senate Democrats on issues like abortion or immigration, or perhaps the reintroduction of the public option to the healthcare bill."
