Senate Democrats Consider Tactic to Push Through Government Health Plan - NYTimes.com: "WASHINGTON — Senate Democrats said Sunday that they were fleshing out plans to pass health legislation, particularly the option of a new government-run insurance program, with a simple majority, instead of the 60 votes that would ordinarily be needed to overcome a filibuster."
After consulting experts in Senate rules and procedure, the Democrats said they were increasingly confident that they could legislate creation of a public plan in a way that would withstand challenges expected from Republicans.
Apparently it does not matter that the people don't want this anymore. A few lobbyists, pharmaceutical companies and politicians who have a lot of personal gain to make do. The rest of us don't matter.
