At long last, the Senate Finance Committee passes health care reform bill

The bill not the far-reaching reform that I am still hoping for, but it is still progress. One Republican, Senator Olympia Snowe, did vote for the bill drafted by Committee Chairman Baucus. Of course this was just a committee vote, and the full Senate still has to take up the issue. There are still three health care reform bills in the House of Representatives.

It will be very interesting to see what happens at the conference committee that will have to iron out the differences between the House and Senate versions of the bill.
