T'was the weekend before Xmas
And all through the Senate,
There was talk of a bill
With some health care reform in it.With Nelson and Lieberman
Both finally placated,
All that's left, it seems,
Is for the bill to be debated.Progressives may grumble,
But with no worries about Snowe,
Passing a bill in the Senate
Seems almost certainly a "go."
At least that's how Clement Clark Moore might describe the state of affairs in Washington, where Senators wait (and complain about waiting) to vote on the health care reform bill (or what's left of it, depending on your point of view.) With President Obama back in town from Copenhagen, and Republicans unable to stop it, the Senate's health care reform bill seemed likely to pass a key vote in the Senate.
