Version of Health Care Bill Passes Senate Finance Committee

The vote was 14 to 9, with Republican cover coming from Olympia Snowe. This paves the way for a final version that will contain the public option, if Reid and Obama want the public optionit will be in there and it will beat a filibuster and pass.  The Republican opposition has now been rendered irrelevant.  It’s up to us to make sure Obama and Reid keep the public option.
