We have the facts and we’re voting yes

The House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer has announced the floor schedule for tomorrow. The House will be naming a post office in Ohio, supporting the goals and ideals of National Women’s History Month and… hey, look at this:

Motion to Concur in the Senate Amendments to H.R. 3590 – Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act – and H.R. 4872 – Reconciliation Act of 2010 (Reps. Spratt/Waxman/Levin/George Miller – Budget/Energy and Commerce/Ways and Means/Education and Labor) (Subject to a Rule)

These votes will be taken separately; the House will not use the somewhat controversial deem-and-pass rule that had been proposed earlier this week.

Hoyer’s schedule for the floor advises:

***Members are advised that votes are expected as early as 1:00 p.m.

The health care votes are the first scheduled for the day. Those in and outside of the United States can tune into C-Span‘s Web site to watch the proceedings. Australians, 1 p.m. Washington D.C. time translates to 4 a.m. Sydney time. Get up early. I’ll be live-tweeting at @jbradleyUSSC, as will Erin at @eirinn22.
