I wouldn't assume this bill will pass, here's my take on it.
The vote is so tight if they mess with any portion of it they will loose somebodys vote. The Dem's are so wound up over the details they WILL want to change or tinker with some point. Thus they will loose the needed votes, the bill is DOA is my guess.
...which is to bad, it would have been great for America and apple pie and hot dogs for all.
Bernie, I don't put a lot of stock in polls, but they can be interesting indicator. In THIS poll it appears that 56% oppose the changes. Those changes include leaving out the Gov Ins Plan. The "people" could be saying they want even MORE than the bill allows for because a lot of folks want to keep the Gov option. Folks like me, we are legion and should NOT be underestimated in our power and influence.
