Health Plan to Treat Blue Dog Syndrome

by Scott Ott for ScrappleFace • 67 Comments • • Print This Story

(2009-07-23) — House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-CA, today announced a new provision to the massive health care reform bill that would provide treatment for so-called Blue Dog syndrome which she said has afflicted members of her own party.

The condition causes a rash rejection of legislation that includes new expenditures without compensating cuts. Recent outbreaks threaten to cripple major Obama administration initiatives.

While the cause of Blue Dog syndrome remains mysterious, experts think it may originate in a lawmaker’s home district, and spread by face to face contact with voters.

“If we don’t suppress it early,” said Rep. Pelosi, “we risk a pandemic that could threaten our way of life.”
