Without any form of public option
or medicare buy-in I assume they now have Lieberman and co. How about the Progressive Senators? Will Bernie Sanders, Burris (he said he wouldn't and he's got nothing to lose) vote for this? How about the House progressive caucus?
My guess is they now have enough repukes to sign on in both houses so their dream of a bipartisan bill is at hand.
What's up with this, the progressives in DC have been rather quiet.

1. get ready for the back-slapping and medals-all-around
Our "leaders" will be positively giddy with their bipartisan success.

2. The whole deal was made back in August between the health care
industry, Congress and the White House. The rest of this has been nothing more than theater. I hope it backfires on them in a big way.

3. I've kind of felt that too
that's why it has dragged on so long, get to the deadline and push it through in a hurry.
