Oh, I'm sure everyone posting here is aware, but the bill isn't dead by any means, Ben Nelson was bought off(restrictions on physician owned hospitals was lifted for Nebraska and the Federal Gov't will fully fund MedicAid in that state - the Abortion language he was opposed to was left in) and in a late night vote last night/this morning another procedural vote was passed, 60 votes, at 1AM. 2 more votes IIRC before it can go to the house/senate committee to resolve differences and it going up to the Prez.
