Health What Happens Next?

Ezra Klein, as always, has the answer on health insurance reform's next phase—which, now that the Finance Committee has completed its work, is the floor bill.
The floor bill will not be the Finance Bill, exactly. And it will not be the HELP Committee's bill. Instead, it will be a blend of the two. The merger will be overseen by Harry Reid's office, and Hill sources expect the room to be fairly small beyond that.
Learn who's likely to be in, who's likely to be out, and what's going to be on the agenda, here.

there are five bills - the finance bill in the senate will have its guts ripped out and be ennobled with engrossed text from the other four bills - and single payer national health care as the public option will be put back in if everyone phones or sends a postcard to their representatives in the House and Senate.
of course, if you just go have a parade, you'll get nothing.
