The US Senate and Health Care

The New York Times: Reports that Democratic US Senators have agreed a way around the public option argument within their own ranks, the NYT writes the following, " senators said the tentative agreement would sideline but not kill the “public option” ". Thus we shall see if Liberals can take the deal and if moderate and Conservative Democrats can sell the deal back home. At the end of the day its about 60 votes, if the Democrats can get that then they have a bill if not they don't. It will be fun to see how much the Democratic Leadership have to pay for votes, the last one was a hundred million dollars.
