NYT: Senate passes health care overhaul on party-line vote.
As of 7am east coast time, we now have both senate and house versions of a health care bill. Now it’s up to Obama to iron out the differences between the two. At the very least, we will have dramatically expanded coverage and discrimination based on health history discrimination will be outlawed. Here’s hoping that the house’s public option makes it into the final version.
