Health Care Debate Moves Forward

The health care debate appears to be moving forward in the Senate. It now appears that Democrats have secured the 60 votes necessary to break Republican efforts to stall the bill prior to open debate in the Senate. The bill is anything but a sure though. Many of the central leaning Democrats while supporting debate have as yet stopped short of actually stating they would vote for the bill. The debate will now center around how much the left leaning Democrats are willing to concede to the centrist Democrats to get the bill through.
