Senate Panel Clears Health Bill With One G.O.P. Vote - NYTimes.com: "“Is this bill all that I would want?” Ms. Snowe asked. “Far from it. Is it all that it can be? No. But when history calls, history calls. And I happen to think that the consequences of inaction dictate the urgency of Congress to take every opportunity to demonstrate its capacity to solve the monumental issues of our time.”"
I wonder if Ms Snowe also checked the RCP job approval rate for Congress? Apparently it is not nice if the bill does not become bipartisan for the reason that it have been that before at the earlier improvements of health care in the US.
Otherwise I do not quite understand why this is a problem and why it is cover story stuff. The democrats have a clear majority in Congress. However, it is hoped that Ms Snowe's vote will make others vote for the bill. It is also possible that moderate Democrats that have been hard to convince now will side with the majority.
