The pre-vote wrangling appears to be over, and Harry Reid looks like he has the 60 votes in the Senate to move the healthcare bill forward. I suppose it is typical Washington, but those Democrats who held the bill hostage got the payday that they wanted in order to swing their votes over to the yay column.
In the meantime, only about 36% of Americans are behind this bill that will change the way healthcare is managed in the country. I believe that the cartoon below by Bob Lang depicts well the story behind the voting.
