It's down to The Senate Finance Commitee now that The Senate Health Commitee have finished marking up Health Care reform. I worry less about The House version. Demand a true public option and focus on these Senators, the membership of the Senate Finance Committee. I have starred the persuadable Republicans and the Democrats that might cause some concern do to their ties with Health Insurance Corporation Election Contributions. Democrats have a 13-10 majority, so it's important that we retain all four amongst Baucus, Conrad, Bingaman, and Lincoln. Remember the smaller the population of the state, the more that Senators depend on corporate campaign contributions because they have to deliver for less people, whereas large state Senators have a lot more people to pacify. In any event, the process is transparent, we know the players, we know the score, it's time to get this done.
