92. The Senate Problem
The people overwhelmingly, and the percentage seems to go up every time another one is done, want universal care provided. The House could pass a fine bill providing it . The entire problem is in the staid and increasingly corrupt Senate. The Senate just doesn't get it that the public is in a much different place now. They are a little slow on the uptake, but then it's hard to pay much attention to the pulse of the public when one is busy gorging themselves at the lobbyists trough, just like little piggies.

It was encouraging to hear Shumer finally say they may have to just shove a bill through in reconciliation, the Hell with the republicans. About time Chuck, you're a little late to the party, but better late than never.
