| Today's the big day for health care reform, and a lot of folks have glued to their video screens watching the Senate Finance Committee in action. The Politico reports that the public option was "battered and left to die in August" - gee, I must have missed that memo - but that its future looks brighter today.
Again, check out the Washington Independent's Senate Public Option Scorecard for who's wavering, and Chris Bowers' analysis of the Finance Committee votes.
The Senate Finance Committee has a live feed up that you can watch, or check out the various live-blogging going on, including that of the New York Times.
Here's my (latest) favorite bit from Ms. Seelye's blog:
Update | 12:42 p.m. Senator John Ensign, Republican of Nevada, asks: If a public option is so popular, why do so many Democrats have a problem with it? The reason, he says, is that it is not popular. "Constituents are really afraid of it," he says.
Hilarious. I think that's the first time I've actually seen a Senator pretend that the Senate actually responds to its constituencies on health care issues. |
