This puts the senate on a collision course with the house, where the liberal wing has said they will NOT vote for a plan without a public option. Of course the public option isn't dead yet, it still could be put back in during the reconciliation of the house and senate bills. But, by this vote, it looks like a bill with a public option will be DOA in the senate.
