Introducing the Senate Vote Count of Health Care Reform/Public Option!!!
Up on the Pages Section of the site is the newest addition to the blog called the Senate Vote Count Health Care Reform/Public Option. That’s where you’ll find the state of health care reform and what Senators have been saying about the topic especially the public option. All in all, 17 18 Senators – 14 15 Democrats and 3 Republicans – are On the Fence, 46 45 Democrats support the public option, and 37 Republicans are against. The Senate Vote Count will be updated just like the other pages. The Senate Agenda Index and Upcoming Agenda have also been combined to just Upcoming Agenda to make room.
Go check it out!

I support the health care reform and the public options strongly.
I read today about a Senator being willing to lose his seat to vote for the health-insurance reform. “Integrity,” you might say, or “betrayal” (of his constituents). But I think this misses the point–meaning the role of the US Senate as a check on the House (and us).
